If you can figure out the beta for the start, 5.9 is fair -- but it is a WEIRD start. If you don't figure out the beta, then it will feel MUCH harder. Also, might be height-dependent. We need to get a short climber to give it a try.

Bunch of falls on this while I tried to work out the beta at the crux.
The hardest move on this is probably about as hard as the hardest move on Slab-o-doom, but SLab-o-doom has a lot more of those moves in a row. Still, I think this is a solid 5.9+. Just wish The Crag would let me set that as a grade. |

Definitely harder than Slab-o-Doom; so 10b seems fair.
And some of the holds are really sharp. Actually, that's Lower Cliff -- generally the sharpest rock at Lac Sam. |
