Great climb
I thought this was a great climb. The first pitch is the crux and protects well. While protection is sparser further up - the climbing is much easier - I generally thought much easier than the 5.5-5.6 the book states. You can link a pitch or two with a 70m rope, but a few pitches are so easy that you can run them out and keep transitions to a minimum. Great place to eat lunch up top.
Oh - and while we didn't see them - bears have recently been sited (May 2010) hanging around Manure Pile getting into packs (even those without food), including 1 bear up on Pitch 3 - presumably from the side access trail.
