AJ likes it.
VIew of the bolts clipped and the rope running. There isn't a ton of drag, but as you step out onto the arrete above the 5th bolt, you need at least a 24" runner to let the rope smoothly run along the main face. Quick draws will not provide the reach you need to do this.
Just about to clip the 4th bolt. We decided to climb the first section without any pro in order to negate some pretty heavy rope drag at the top. It's easy climbing so just have a spotter at the bottom. The belay ledge is fantastic!
