Anyone climbed this other than me? I'm curious about how I rated it.

5.11 seems like an accurate rating for the route. The crux about 3/4 of the way up seemed about 5.11 c/d though, it is tough, especially if you are shorter. This is a fun route, watch out for plants with thorns getting up to the anchors for a top rope set though. Take a sling with you too, I think there is still an old one up there, I wouldn't trust it to hold a thing though.

Thanks for taking the time to rate the route! Someone had previously rated this 5.9.....I'm not a great climber, but when I first did this I was in great shape and had to work it like a boulder problem. I thought it hard 5.11, too, but since it was at the top of my climbing grade I was hesitant. Glad you found it enjoyable.
