Great route. The first 4 pitches are quality, and well-protected. A solid 5.10 leader should have a go at this climb since the 2 5.11 cruxes are protected by bomber bolts.

I'd recommend wearing safey goggles for the descent though...those bushes are prickly.

The Supertopo PDF shows a set of bolts on top of the 4th pitch - this is incorrect, there is a nice horizontal crack, definitely no bolts (not sure how they got in the topo).
