The intial 50 feet is really solid. Somewhat loose in the middle. Pretty step with fun movement and great exposure on the upper section.
This route can be done in one or two pitches. The first pitch is all bolts. Start below a shallow left facing corner. Clip 2 bolts and traverse left to the arete continue past4 bolts to a belay.
Pitch two. Use medium cams to protect a short nice crack. Clip bolts and turn roof. Bolts up and right to the summit (eight bolts)

If I was actually on this route, which I think I was, it was certainly not 5.9 I climbed it after a party bailed off, and I would say it felt more like 5.10d.
I only climbed the first half to the anchors, and it was quite enjoyable. There is an exciting traverse to the left after the second bolt that could result it a painful pendulum collision with the flake to the right, but the climbing is quality.
