This would be heads up for a 5.8 leader, but a really good route.

Not obvious gear.
The book says rap off a tree, but there are now bolted rap rings.
For a 5.8, the gear is a bit thin/tricky/shallow for the first 10 meters or so, and that's the 5.8 part, so caution to the beginning leader. Then it's a walk.

TR'd it up
I don't know what these kids are talking about, but the bottom of this climb is awesome. They are kinda technical, fun moves, but not hard with really good holds awaiting, and the gear is good if you know how to place tri-cams and cams in horizontals. And then maybe the top was a little too easy, but with that gorgeous view and a little bit of exposure, I'd run up this bad boy any day I happened to be at fern and it was open.
