Curbside Distraction

Since Curbside is the new ultra mega hip crag and since I had to wait in line for hours to get on "Waltz the Deal" I wandered over to look at "The return of Frank Byron". I noticed a nice looking crack in the back of a corridor to the right. The infamous "someone" made a comment about it in the online guide:
Infamous Someone wrote:The obvious crack that arches up and left in the back of a corridor/wide chimney is called Curbside Distraction.
Anone know if this has been done, or what the grade may be? I was thinking hard 5.10 easy 5.11 but I couldn't see the top all that well.

Matt, is it possible to head over to the left were the wall breaks down go up top and drop a rope down into the slot? If no one else wants it I may go over and clean it up and give it a go.

Nope, looks beautiful though. A bit too burly for me. 8)

Cool, I'm going to head down there a few times over the next couple of weeks and try to clean it up. I'm excited, it looks great.

Hey Piggy, can I borrow your drill for a couple of hours to put in anchors? :D
