Pretty thin crux for mid 10! However a great route.

Called "Sobriety Tester" in Huston's topo.

I was out there on a wasp heavy day and ended up top roping this route after leading Leftwing. I would have found this to be a stout problem for a mid 10 grade, but a darn fine climb. My favorite of the "easy" routes.

I think it depends how you do it. I thought it was hard in 07 (see above) but was on it again a couple weeks ago and it seemed more in the 10 range. I had no recollection of the route whatsoever, but I can see how there are several ways to get up at the crux as Jay and I did it very differently.

If you want the Qual Wall without wasps, try January!
