Fun little climb. I understand that there are two more pitches above (I haven't climbed them). I think the climb is probably more like 5.6.

There are three pitches. Pitch 1 - Look for one 3/8 bolt with Fixe hanger on the first pitch. Pitch 2 - Up and to the right of the chains. Climb real easy stuff to a large vertical crack (a #4 camalot works here as well as plenty of smaller stuff in a horizontal) use a 4 foot runner unless you like rope drag. Step around a big overhanging block onto the face (easy but exposed) and proceed to top of block to establish a solid gear anchor. Ptich 3 - Proceed up the face to a block with a single bolt and up to the chains. Rappel straight down from the chains to a flat area, then walk along on rappel and down to the chains at the top of the first pitch. Tie a knot in the end - a sixty meter rope just reaches if you swing the rope around so it goes straight down. Rap to the bottom along the first pitch. This is a great route for a new trad leader to learn about multipitch.

First pitch is worth it alone, but the second and third are highly recommended. I used a #2 Camalot for the airy second pitch move, which is good news if you don't own a #4! Rapping into the tree is part of the fun.

Bomber gear, a little run out between your last piece and the bolt. I agree that the first pitch is a good route for a new trad leader. The second and third pitch are very good as well.
