It's rated at 5.9, but I'm convinced that it's an old school rating...the first pitch followed a nice dihedral for about 100 feet, then swung left onto the face and up to the 'ledge'- it felt more like 10a or 10b in some spots...and it was even more of a challenge becuase I had to place all of the protection, and save enough pieces to build the anchor on the ledge.
The dihedral that the lower climber is in was pretty sustained, and involved some super balancey moves that I had to be pretty delicate about. I will agree, though- it looks easier than it really is.
