Fun Day Out in the shade
The sun did not start hitting the wall until around 2pm making for an enjoyable climb when a lot of places were a little too hot.

whoops
partner took a big whip on the 3rd 10a pitch and sprained his ankle. It's probably worth moving the belay up to the higher bolts if you think falling is a possibility (like if it's wet).

steep fun
The first three pitches can be linked (to the bolted anchor at the base of the 10b), by having the belayer walk up the 3rd/4th class bit at the bottom.

Wonderful route
Led P's 1,2,3.
We linked the first two pitches and the last two pitches(we were using a 70m rope) which made the route flow nicely. The cruxes are super fun and well protected and the climbing is varied and enjoyable. Note that there is a new "Hiking Trail" descent that avoids the dangers of the traditional "Climb Down" cave.
