incredible
Rope solo. This is one of the climbs that I remember vividly, after thousands of ascents spanning over 30 years. The last 4 pitches overhang about 300 ft horizontal. The belays are really solid, and the intermediate bolts 20 ft apart and questionable. Huge but safe falls possible. Bring prusixs. (Note, I climbed this in 05. Must have pulled out all the quarter inchers and put in something better)

Overhanging and great fun to boot!
I hung just before the final bolt on the crux pitch. Very pumpy; the holds at the crux were a bewildering array of edges, much smaller than the rest of the route's but still ok. Very sporty bolting, you have to climb a good ways between bolts (bomber).
