Great climb, conducive to running laps and a good one for pushing your limit. As much good pro as you want, though it's not easy to hang around and place it at the crux.

Agreed. The crux is low off the ground and short. It can be sewn up with small TCUs. Above that, the climbing eases substantially.
The crux is at the start. i fell once. Then pulled the move. Great climb!

After the finger-crack crux, which sports some truly bomber finger-locks with bad feet, you enter a hand crack in a corner. As Mike said above, the climbing eases quite a bit, but can stay a little pumpy, especially if you have big hands (I do) and can't comfortably cram them in the tight hands section. In fact, for some odd reason I thought the top was harder than the bottom. If you desire, there's a nice face-climbing move to a great rest about 3/4 of the way up, on the left.
Oh, and be polite to other climbers: try not to top-rope directly off of the rap rings so others can can use the anchor if they need to.
