Splitter hand cracks are a dime a dozen, but that roof pitch is one of a kind.
Fantastic route, it's got a little bit of everything - fingers, hands, OW, chimney, bolt ladder, clean aid, face traverse, tunnel through, tree climbing, good friction, bad friction...
The only constant is the exposure.
Edit: why is there no option for "Aid" under Ascent Style? I guess I'll go with "Hang Dog".

fantastic burly line
Aided the first pitch, and the first few feet of the second. We had a double set of cams to 3 and singles 4 and 5. I used 5 a fair bit. I found all the pitches great, but the hand cracks high, and the cave through the roof was best. Lots of flares.

A bit harder than I thought. Pulled through the bolt ladder and did a bit of aid low on the second pitch as well. Thought the first three pitches were absolute crap but the rest was really good. The wild roof is one of a kind and rivals the splitter hand cracks.
