Depends what kind of information you want - beta, or simply it's nice, or it is not nice.

IMO, it's a great climb. I've not encountered anyone that has tried it that disliked it - which is true whether they send or otherwise.

If you don't want beta, stop reading here.

Personally, I dislike face climbs. Yet this one I find really nice. You're on the thing thinking jeezus, grey grey and more grey. Why can this not be red rock where the chalk lights up the way. I cannot see which of all this is actually a feasible hold. There is nothing to tell you where you probably have to go left or right a bit, or just go straight up. Even the bolts are hard to see because the rock is grey. So you step up and reach up to where you think a hold would be convenient and bam, there's a feasible hold. And this process repeats to the top. Engaging all the way, but it's all there.
