[Hide Comment] Did something come off since it was considered a 5.9 ? Aug 19, 2019
[Hide Comment] Grade inflation, oh absolutely. This used to be considered 5.7+. Jun 10, 2022

[Hide Comment] Not sure when this was considered 5.9, lol. Maybe your friends sandbagged you. It's 10d in Williams and 10+ in Swain (1986). I did find a hilarious comment in the original Art Gran guidebook (1964) when this was still just A1. He says, "It has to be quite a bad day to undertake such a poor climb." To think, this is now considered a bouldering classic. Well, I wouldn't want to aid it either. Jul 2, 2022
