Brief report:
Climbed with Mark Ingram (ming21). Even though we brought a 50m rope and a light rack, we ended up soloing the route.
I went up first and tried climbing the left hand crack but the rock was wet from water running down it and had to downclimb. Then, I tried climbing the face in the middle between the left & right hand cracks and it worked although there was definitely a spicy traverse move to get back to the main "wet" left hand crack. Mark thought this was the crux of the route. After that it was all enjoyable class 3/4 climbing and surprisingly sustained (especially near the top).
