great route
I did this in about 1996. Went up to do it 4 April 2012 but it was flowing water at the base, and the corner was wet as well for at least 50 ft. Not a good early season route. The first section is a bit chossy

Sweet
Thanks Chad for urging me to get my butt up on this one. Had to use some direct aid to get past some wet spots low. The rest of the first pitch was a litlle uncomfortable on lead. But if that was the price of admission to the upper pitches it was more than worth it.

Bring a #4 and/or #5
The first two pitches are crap. The rest of the route is top notch, 5 star badass Yosemite climbing.
Brought two #3 C4's, wish we'd brought something bigger for the last pitch. Pretty run out if ya aint got the big stuff.
