We did Blind Faith this last fall and I agree it's a great route. It seems like it would be good to have a modern fixed belay at the top of the 10b pitch so you don't have to burn big gear.

Hows the alien finish? what size is the finger crack? green, yellow, aliens is what i have heard. Does it turn into a thin hand crack after the roof? only seen pictures but it looks killer.

Old #4 for that pitch- it's bigger than the newer one and does the trick pretty well.

The Alien finish is deluxe. The hardest part is the initial moves pulling the roof then it's relatively easy to a tricky 5.11 sequence moving left to join the regular Rostrum Roof finish. Then about 11c thin to the top.

Here is a photo of the 2nd ascent of the "regular" route and I think that is Kamps hanging out in slings. It was to be 15 more years before the FFA. Probably circa 62-63 ish? 2nd ascent Kamps and?
Photo I think by Denny and I am either with him or on top. As you can see lots of questions after so many years.
