Hard to grade or really star this quasi pile. Sure the rock is good, in some areas of the route, but where does the route really go? If you stay way right on the arete, the rock is pretty bad as a fair amount of holds are actually around the corner away from the good rock. Some are total crap and the next 4mph wind will probably liberate them from the formation. If you stay kinda to the left, you could actually clip the bolts for FBM as you pretend you are on OWP..... I guess it is best to just call it a squeeze job, somewhat contrived, and a forced line, then have some fun on it....
