    Initially got on this a few days ago thinking it was a 5.9 and ended up stick clipping the crux. This would be a good climb if it was bolted better. As it is, the crux is completely unprotected (even for my climbing partner who is 5'8) and a fall would be exceptionally bad (broken ankles at the least with potential for much worse). Sent it today after my partner put a long sling to protect the crux. I would advise skipping the lead if 10c/d is your limit or bring a stick clip and a long sling.
