i thought it was a 5.8 but someone said it was a 5.9 ... which seems fair since it's a tad pumpy
thanks guys!
I heard it was a 5.9 also, and would agree on the rating cause it's a bit pumpy. Would also like to know the name...

If it's pumpy and it's diagonal, have you tried walking up it instead of hand traversing? Just a suggestion

I thought it was 5.6 or 5.7. But then I walked the thing.

That was the general suggestion, I felt more comfortable hand traversing it lol

Yea, there's a few climbs like that around - where you feel more comfortable hand traversing, but are actually easier as a foot traverse. Takes practice
