I could be way off here but how does a 250 foot climb warrant grade III?

It does not ... but some people can find a way to make it one :-)

You guys are right. definitely not comparable to grade III routes in other places. As a free route probably going to be closer to grade II or even I for efficient parties. In its current condition, there is still a lot of loose rock, so anyone planning on freeing it will probably need a half day or more just to deal with the route still taking shape.  

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
