Brad, it is not harder than the routes you mention. It has a one or two move boulder start (for which pro is not necessary as you are less than 6 feet off the ground) and then eases significantly. After the boulder start it is more like 5.8. Also unlike Flying Circus it is nice and rough and the edges are still sharp, not polished and greasy. Tacking a plus onto the 5.9 rating for this climb is not required or necessary.

lol, probably not cause this keeps going on and on about a climb which nobody knows anything about!! if you think it's a .10, then there it is!
i've climbed a few routes all over squamish where i didn't know the name or grade, due to the instantly outdaded guidebooks...

No, actually for 8a.nu, you do need to know the name as well. Take it from me...
