Check out mountainproject.com for beta. It was built off of the old climbingbouder.com website.

Yup, that's all the beta you need for a mid may ascent!
You might want to look into the standard route on the 1st flatiron as a "consolation" prize. It's equally as good of a route.

Are you wanting to start at the bottom of the face instead of the east bench? Thats a different and better route if you ask me Third World Zone

wife and i went up a few years back - tons o fun - take a couple burritos up for snack at the top - three raps off the west side of the summit. third station is a bit around the corner to the north - about 10 - 15 feet away. one could scramble over but i took a belay - a mistake would be fatal.
some bolts and big rings are availabe at least from the east bench level and up. natural pro is there but questionable. at 5.6 and low angle some go up free solo and hitch a ride down. i don't recommend this. one other thing - move to the east side of the crack (which gets very big and deep) - we waited to long to cross and had to rap down into the fissure then climb out which was fun but time comsuming.
the climber trail, down to the east, can be tricky - ah little steep in places with route finding. just come down to the seat and ah bit south then onto the scree. continue SE to the path. chk out some of the weird way some go up. just google it plenty of stuff like this.
it is pretty straight forward. have ah blast! 
edit: p.s. - that's my wife on top of the third - thumbs up and ah big smile!
