Fun climb. First bolt is a long ways up. There's a crack, use it as needed (or not). Getting to the anchors was the crux. The holds pretty much stop before that and it was an awkward move to clip. I contemplated setting up a portaledge and sending the last 5 feet after a good night's sleep. It could be a grade V.

I definitely recommend using a cam or two to get to the first bolt(maybe a stick clip would reach?). After that it is well protected with about 8 or 9 bolts + 2 rap anchors(one has two chain links). I pulled the top on the right, almost totally on the arete. Good route.

The first bolt is about 15' off the ground. If you are comfortable leading 5.8, there's no need to worry about getting up to it.

One of the best climbs of the grade I've done on the mountain.
