Great Route. Super solid rock down low gives way to harder climbing on some mostly good but somewhat fragile rock up high. P6 is a wild, sustained, and very cool pitch, even if it has a bit of fragile rock. If you don't climb 5.11 I'd recommend the first 3 pitches as a smaller route. The 5.10 roof pitch is very cool. Tie knots in your rope!
P1: cruise up highly featured low angle terrain on solid rock. 5.8ish
P2: cruise up highly featured low angle terrain on solid rock. 5.8ish
P3: really cool 5.10 roof surrounded by easier climbing. 5.10-
P4: cruise up some easy terrain, then start to trend right in a big corner system.
P5: continue trending right in the corner system. a bit dirty and loose.
P6: THE PITCH. hard boulder problem at the first bolt after the anchor, followed by sustained, slightly overhanging 5.10+/5.11 climbing. Maybe it's the exposure, but this pitch felt hard for 5.11.
P7: Easier climbing to the ridge, joining up in the middle of Filo's second to last pitch.
