Description:
Some choss n munge. Crux is between the 4th and 5th bolt. The last 3 bolts are hard to see since they have been hammered into the onion skin. Note: Need a 70 m rope.

cross fingers nothing breaks
fun, agree with other comments there's some big stuff that can break. Used 65M rope worked out about perfect. Croft book has this as 5.8

Fun route.
Still has a fair amount of choss and pebbles to send to the belayer, but not too bad. If I remember there's also a sizable flake to be careful of not pulling off. A 60m rope can be stretched to easily do the job, but knot the end and step up a couple feet to tie/clip in. I agree with the other posts that the bolts push you left a little more than is natural, but not too bad.
