If I get on one 5.9 trad route at the Red this weekend, what should it be?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Yeah Kipp,
Luke is riding with us now too ( I hear you're in Robb's van too)

Remember when you left all your gear at the trailer for Mike and I about 4 years ago?

CHEESE SENSATIONS!!!!!

Luke and I are gonna have a trad day sunday. You're welcome to join us......

Any other advice anyone?

I thought Crack Attack was really sweet... maybe not the best 5.9, but I haven't been climbing trad long enough to tell you what the best one is.
