FYI: The select guidebook calls this a 5.7, labeling the second pitch stout for the grade. I seem to recall reading somewhere that you could do it as one long pitch. Fun, whatever the grade.
I've also seen it labeled as both 5.6 and 5.7. In my opinion pitch 1 went at 5.5/5.6 and pitch 2 went at 5.7, with the first 30 ft or so being the most difficult. The entire route is easily protected, and I never used anything larger than a #3 BD cam

Yeah - I remember it being short and sweet! Some cool rock coloration too.
