Several corrections to Handren's book. The 1st pitch is 5.10a, not 5.8. The 4th pitch is really part of the 3rd pitch description (you pass a belay station). Only takes 6 pitches, no reason for 7. The station you pass is really needed for the rappel only. Good rock. Some real cruxy moves. That 5th pitch if full on war at 5.10a, I thought this pitch was a tad sandbagged, but then it is fully bolted, more so than even described, at least 9 bolts as I recall vs 8. That 4th pitch can be a little run out depending on what gear you have left towards the top.
