Star Trekkin on Mount Russell C2C

Why is Star Trekkin on the cover of the first edition of the Supertopo High Sierra Guide but there is no mention of the route in the entire guide? Why is all the online beta for the exit move variable? Stating either super sketch 5.11 or dirty 5.10 offwidth. I decided to put the mystery to rest. 

It had been a year and half since my last outdoor lead. As we hiked to the base, old memories flooded my head. I was back in the Sierras; my second home. Being in the Sierras was like reuniting with an old friend after a long time apart. Where you can just pick up just where you left off. I had tried to climb this route three years ago with Miguel but ended up never getting around to it for some reason.  Now was the time to do it. I was back in action and ready to charge.
