Now I believe it's possible
After climbing this about 8 years ago, I finally came back to give it another try on top-rope. I previously thought it impossible, and previously thought the right flake was off-route. I have now decided the flake is fair game, and that if you wire the moves, it could be possible! :) I agree that the crux is at about bolt #2 (unless you don't use the flake, in which case the 3rd and 4th bolts are the crux at about 12b, would be my guess).

Attempted
Couldn't get above the 2nd bolt. Holds vanish and there is just a little to work with on the left. Should be a fun project.

Ascent Note
Way hard lead; would like to have redpoint by the end of this summer, but unlikely. Up to the 2nd bolt isn't that bad, probably only 10.d/11.a. The only section we still can't free is between the 2nd the 3rd bolts; you must go from face crimps to nothing and have to get high left into a really thin seem with your left hand. Freakin' balancy and desperate if you ask me.
