Description 

This is a good highball up the obvious slippery crack facing the road. The crux is at the beginning, maybe .11- or so finger jamming, above the hardest stuff is some 5.8 climbing to a stance 25 feet above the ground, from here one can downclimb to the east (very tricky, downclimbing mid fith class climbing) or continue on some 5.6 slab to the summit (almost soloing now). This route can be toproped too.

Good, fun route. With that said; I don't boulder much. I was told by asking around that this prob was around V5. I think, from my limited knowledge of V grades, that V5 is high, but V2 seems low. Any thoughts?

It's spot on for flagstaff V2, like most problems once the best beta is found the grade makes more sense but realistically V3.
