May be worth taking a medium cam
PG-13 for the decking potential from bolt 1-3. Not a bad route. Not great, either. Pumpy roof.

layback crack is awesome, roof is sweet, and the last clip is difficult if you are pumped!

Intimidating at first sight.
The third bolt is at least 10 feet above the second bolt, and there is a ledge 15feet up that you scramble up to clip the first bolt. It looked like definite decking potential to me, and the necessity to clip that dangerous third bolt from a layback (not my specialty).
Onsight spoiler ahead... do not call it an onsight if you read on from here.
There is a nice edge for your feet that is not visible from the ground, which you can stand partly on to clip the third bolt.
