No gear needed. The placement comes with a bolt at your knees and easy moves after it.
The route is perhaps 50-60 feet, but has a big ledge in the middle So it feels like a 15 foot slab to a 30 foot climb, with some messing around on a ramp between. In the end, if felt like a very short route. But it was OK, if you don't mind short routes.
Climbing the seam/flake to the right of the bolts would go on TR or with an added bolt, but be very hard (V6+). I partially brushed this, but didn't do the last move. Maybe more cleaning would fix it.
