It's been awhile but I don't remember the grade being off. I think people with smaller hands need to dig a little deeper on stage 2 though.

Didn't John say something about boxing gloves? 10c just like the battlement and The Specimen are 10c.

Agree with Ray. This was early in my 5.10 climbing, and didn't feel any harder than any others... and my hands are smallish. Only one or two rattley fist jams comin out of the chimney, and your legs are still locked in. The rest of the route is 5.9.

Just too good. That approach and descent are worth it just for this thing.
