Nice route description for a great route! Two confirmations/additions to the beta you’ve got listed:
·starting at the base of the flake you mention that comprises the first pitch (the ledge below it leads to a flake/ledge one can sit on as a belay stance), one can streeeeeetch out the pitch to the beginning of the blocky section with a 60 meter rope.
·Pitch 5: after going pretty much straight up past the roof (30ft?), a pin can be located to one’s L that was driven into the R-facing dihedral/flake, that seems pretty solid. To back it up, a .75 Camalot slots in directly above it pretty much perfectly (though it’s a shallow placement).
