This route offers plenty of climbs for you! There are two cruxes on the route. The first is a very long and exposed traverse as seen in Photo 2. It's much more exposed than the photo shows.

The next crux is just after the traverse and is stunningly exposed. See Photo 3.

At the bottom of this post is a video I took of the route.

Update:

Recently, (1-2015), I did this route. It is now in great shape. The route is well cairned and very clean of brush.  If you are an advanced hiker, you should give this route a try.
