My personal favorite nine in this area. good protection, varied holds, balancy crux moves, challenging route finding, this gets an A+.

I wasn't really sure where the "plus" section was. I would say this is a 5.9. Felt pretty easy to me for a .9. If you are short on quickdraws this is a good climb for you. There are 10 bolts, but most of the bolts will be at your ankles when you are clipping the one above, so once you are clipped you can clean the one at your foot.
I don't really know why this has gotten praise, but for our first climb in CCC, we hit Herbal Essence. After coming down, both of us were annoyed. Perhaps we didn't get it, and didn't understand the sequencing, but we both thought this route sucked.
We have the old handwritten guidebook and it said this was a 9- and I'd agree.
