Excellent route, deserves more traffic. We had the whole dome to ourselves on a beautiful Saturday at the end of July last summer.
The approach pitches are further right than you might think from the topo -- we missed this and came in from the left on nervy, though not terribly hard, friction.
The corner pitch is fairly sustained at the grade. The "R" rating seems over-cautious, though; I got bomber brown and red Tri-cams in pockets low in the corner, right where the topo says "no pro."

*What is "Route Beta"?
It's climber slang for information or tips on a route as in, "what's
the beta on that route?" As a service to fellow climbers we ask SuperTopo
guidebook users to post tips and updates to this website if they have relevant
information to share after a climb.
