I got my full value adventure out of this one! I got off route on a pitch that put me on a very dirty 5.10R-X slab. The route climbs a very obvious gully-dihedral that leads to a large pedistal below the headwall where the real climbing starts. It's a good route, but I don't think it gets four stars.
Was that roughly the 3rd pitch? I also got off route before the open book with the "strenuous crack" - climbed yellowish loose and scary flakes that were 10ish and R/Xish (R in the backcountry may as well be X). The route stays to the left there, starts off in some grassy dihedral that is supposed to get better and be clean.
I am going to post a full description soon - just need to get back to my notes.
Yeah, it was about the third pitch. I think i remember looking down at the grassy crack system that your talking about thinking that I should have taken that.
