Lover's Leap-esque
Cool route and an easy day trip in a senic, uncrowded area. Good parking lot camping. Did in 5 long pitches with double ropes and would do more pitches next time to make it less of a drag. Somehow got lost on p3 and climbed a long licheny pitch to the big ledge - that's what you get when you climb with approach beta as your only beta.

Quite direct
Last pitch felt f-ing hard and slick. Have never looked at a topo and route decription so many times on a climb. I'm sure people climb this and other big limestone trad routes with single ropes, and I bet it sucks.

Spectacular
Climbing gets better and better. Enjoy the retro-bolting the that turned p5 "into something of a sport pitch." #3.5 Camalot or #4 Friend or both nice for p7 - if you just have one this size save it for up high on the pitch.

Whoa!
This place has some of the most obtuse climbing I've ever done. Maybe we were beat from Yam the day before, but I've never had such a head trip on 10a "sport" routes or worked so hard top ropping a 10b/c. Cool zone with interesting climbing but be prepared to get scared.
