I climbed this route in July 2001 and still have some vivid recollections of it. The first 2-3 pitches climb up the buttress and tend left about halfway up. I vaguely remember some pitons in there and remember thinking the climbing was in the 5.7 range. After reaching a ledge, traverse around right to an obvious dihedral. Follow this straight up for one long pitch of (what I thought to be) strenuous 5.9, passing pitons and a stretch of fixed rope until the climbing gets much harder at a slight roof. Here traverse left out of the dihedral and climb up to a long sling under a roof. Swing out to the left, then head straight up again to the top. We needed crampons for the descent. Again, I am writing this from memory.
