This route gets an R rating in the guidebooks. It says 3 pitches of "minimally protected climbing". I don't know about that... All of the harder climbing is very well protected, if you don't mind climbing a little bit above the bolts. Some of the easier (5.8) climbing is a bit runout.
Anyway, I thought this was a nice, fun route with great rock and moves on a nice wall.
