Description
Short, but sustained for the length, with good rock. Posting from distant memory (TRed it once over a decade ago; will update if needed when I next go to Middle Earth). I think there's an ancient fixed pin, but this would be a very serious lead: I'm not sure any other gear can be placed - if so, stances would be very difficult - and the landing is pretty bad. Maybe it was originally done as an aid climb. Start off of a 2' rock at the base (ground start would be harder than 11), and do several burly and technical lieback moves.
