It's very obvious this climb is hardly climbed - grainy, dirty rock everywhere, and I pulled off a chunk of rock on the second pitch last weekend (at the start/10c section) - now it's even cleaner. The traverse left is also on questionable rock, but very easy, and the rock is solid after that. With traffic, it's going to become very good, every ascent makes it cleaner, so go do it! The hard part is well protected.

Upper 5.9/5.10 face is a little heads up, don't let your guard down after the crux.

Thanks, ASCA, for the new bolts!

20" x 5" x 3" rock that broke off at the start of the second pitch (close call). Due to the moss/lichen there was no visible fracture line and it appeared completely solid/part of the right hand wall!
