Even though this route is rated a 5.9, it climbs more like a 5.8 so it’s what I call an ego climb.

Overall it is pretty straight forward. There are only a few moments where you feel a bit awkward and off-balance but switching feet or matching hands means you get some advantage back. Some of the holds have become pretty slippery and there is one move toward the top that is a bit tricky compared to the rest of the route but just push through it and you’ll be fine. The last two holds are solid buckets.
