I know there are bolts at all the belay stations on the route, but are there any pins located along any of the pitches? I read a route description that says there is often a pin just before some of the harder moves on the route, but a friend of mine who has climbed it said it is completely trad lead.

The hardest pitch / move is on one of the lower pitches where there is a crack slightly larger than fist size. I have never seen any pins on any of the pitches.

did it this summer but dont remember for sure. If its there then its around the wide section. You'll be able to get plenty of gear in though if its not there. Interesting route for historical purposes but otherwise don't expect much.

When I did the route 10 years ago I remember clipping 1 pin on the first or second pitch. It really didn't matter because the route was so easy to protect.

I recall clipping a couple ring pins on the leaning pillar pitch, but I wouldn't hang my hat on those, let alone fall on them.

There are two pitons on the leaning column, one or two in durrance crack, and one in the bailey direct. Some can and should be backed up. Good luck and enjoy the durrance
