Easily done in 2 pitches with 60m rope. I thought the footholds/friction in the corner were too slick/water-polished to be 5.4. Felt more like 5.6. Lead whole dihedral in one long pitch - 197' to poor anchor with a good bolt. Belay is just above a little roof about 10' left of corner system; it features cracks that looked solid, but most of the blocks were loose. A second bolt here would make me feel better. Second pitch is runout, but on mostly large knobs. 5.4 Easy rappel starts 20' left of the end of last pitch at left end of ledge.
