A really fun route. The difficult moves are protected but you are making 5.6/5.7 moves well above your gear. The guidebook is bogus in suggesting bringing gear to 2"
You will find nothing bigger than a yellow alien (.75") though offset micro nuts will be a bigger help. As good if not (dare I say) better than Fantasia. You can bail into Haystack effortlessly at almost any time if the climbing becomes too much for you. Get on it, move up and see what happens.

Fun route
This route seemed to be a little more "serious" than fantasia, a set of small nuts and a few small cams will definitely take a little of the edge off. Although the climbing is straight forward and not that hard, you are definetly in the "No Fall" zone for most of the 3 pitches.
