All the shots are tilted so you can't get an honest feel for the true angle. But I'm certain it's very, very hard.

Here is a bunch more detail; Alpinist has it. Although it looks like the route is not overbolted by any means, the methods of establishing the line were pretty much whatever worked at the time.

Note the very detailed comments by Evrard Wendenbaum towards the bottom of the page from May 25, 2008
For example, Pitch #9 at 8C+, is thought to be the crux and was originally entirely aided by Gebel who used removable bolts to do this. Pitch #1 was also A3 partly and then bolted out.
Here is a stunning photo of the formations. People go here just to hike even, it is so amazing.
