incredible route
I think P2 might be the best pitch I've been on. I thought P1 and P3 had harder sections. P1 is very thin pro, P2 starts with #2 size slammer hands, but you won't use another #2 after that section so no worries. P3 had a thin section that was mere tips, but my partner fit in a couple fingers in the same spot. P4 is pretty short, the 'stairs' to the left to the rap anchors are a relief after the chimney moves. If you keep traversing left there is first a sling / rap ring, but further around a rope stretching 60m single rope rappel to the gulley behind.
a 'must do' for any 10a leader in my opinion

top rope messing around
tried this with a quarter sized slice in my left big toe, inside edge, from a slip on the el cap approach trail 2 days earlier. using 'comfy' shoes that edge for crap, was almost able to still climb this whole thing. better shoes I think I could lead this even.

a few classic pitches
best route I've climbed, I'd say, just for the continually good pitches through the route. don't let the guide fool you, the first pitch isn't all that hard as they make it out to be. crux has a bit of sequence to it, but it's lower angle with a good stance up to it, so you have all day to study it if need be. I think every 5.8 and 5.7 pitch were the best, shared leads with Jared. I'll concur with '50 classic' status

argh
first 2 pitches worth it, did the 5.9 variation and slipped on a dynamic move and tested my best gear placement of the week ironically enough. skipped the bolt on the first pitch, why bother.

toulumne sport! (almost)
agreed on not much gear, link cams work great for a top of 3rd pitch belay, barely stretched enough to link the 2nd and 3rd pitches. OW last pitch corner, all I had was a few small cams, think a green alien went in the horizontal and I ran the rest out. one big cam, guessing a #5, would protect this fine. plenty of belay options on top. left my shoes in a shady spot, katanas worn through @ the toe, anyone see them? lol

going under's where it's at!
something unique, not often you can slither under a humongous flake held up by being wedged in a couple small spots

nice granite warmup for altitude
pretty easy for 5.7, simple slab friction for the most part, tempted to skip all the bolts...
a great place to acclimate though
