It is super nice to have 2-3 #5 camalots or #6 friends.

a bit heady if you run out of gear half way up, but still super fun

need to come back to get this. yeah, three #5's and two #6's would be the perfect rack for this crack, add a #5 or old #4.5 or 5 for even more TRability. lots of fun. tough 5.8+, woooo OW!

fun climbing, good to learn knee jams, heel-toe, and arm bars. a good rack would be two #5's, two #6's, a 0.75 or 1 for a horizontal, socks, and taped ankles.

Tape your ankles if you want to do this route with bearable pain and suffering. Two 6's will come in handy if you don't want to walk one for just about the whole route. 5's will get you a little less than half way.
