	Hasn't voted	Hi Dow, The "standard route" is rated II-III 5.9- to 5.9+ depending on guidebook. It's mostly 5.8 but the 20 feet of "5.9" were very stiff I thought (but well protected). I had a hell of hard time (big hands) but Shirley did not (small hands) -- guessing the hand thing was the culprit. Thank you for good votes and checking this out.
