We did that route Monday, but after reading your description, I wonder if we were on the right route. The line we took was super straight forward, definitly the most obvious line on the face (atleast the west side of it). We did the what I thought was the lie back crux on the 2nd pitch. Even though I was wearing sneakers I felt that it was way harder than 5.8. Then the crack continued into a sweet left facing dihedral and up into a cool mini tunnel. Then a pitch of flakes and cracks to easy ground and the summit. Does that sounds like anything you guys were on?
