Nice :)
An enjoyable climb. The runouts would be extreme if it weren't for the grade. Also, watch out for wasps. I almost got stung when placing a cam on the big ledge after pitch 2.

Yipee!
I would have loved to see my sweet second when she reached the chopped bolts I had slung with a nut and screamer!
Bring small TCU's and a diaper if you're not up to it.
Check the weather too! I wouldn't want to be on lead if it started raining.
