This is a great route, but the seriousness of the second pitch should not be underestimated. A screamer and a green alien (or equivalent) is almost mandatory gear before the single bolt on the 100' pitch.
I'll also chime in and say that the final pitch is more like .10d Its steep and sustained .10 the whole way with a committing crux section that felt much harder.
I'd bring a pair of green and yellow Aliens when I do it again, along with doubles to a #2 camalot for the final pitch.

After passing the tree on the top of P1, I felt safe and solid climbing to the first bolt of P2 on this climb as a single pitch. Athough this was some distance the climbing was easier in general than that of the first pitch, perhaps 5.7-. Anyone who can climb this route at all should not fall here. Low odds but high consequences I suppose, though the fall would be long it is not the worst a climber could take, and is on a clean slab. As for the last pitch, 10d is right, but the first 30' is perfect handjams (5.9-) and the second half is considerably harder, yes, about 10d (.75-1.5" gear)

Pitch 2 is a little run out, but not difficult. Not sure if I would give it the "R" rating or not. Just be solid on the grade if you lead it.
