I'm glad its mixed and not fully bolted
This is a commiting route with good protection, and is definitely well-worth the hike in. The lone bolt protects the tricky crux. The crux is the next 6 feet of very flat face climbing after the bolt which to me felt like hard 5.9. After the crux, you meet a flake which takes good gear. I placed a #12 stopper and a #0.75 camalot as backup. Rap anchors are at the top.
