Great climb. Difficulty builds as you ascend the 1st pitch - crux is difficult and very hard to onsight. I agree pitches 2 and 3 should be combined into one. Upper crux will be hard for shorter climbers. Beautiful belay station at the top of final pitch.

Fun route
Should be done in two pitches, not three (the first pitch goes to the end of Report to Sickbay, and the second pitch all the way up to the top). First pitch is the money, with hard technical climbing that's in your face for a good 50 feet or so.

Engrossing route. Technically delicious. Took a few tries to see way through crux.
