I haven't done it this season. But it is a must do climb, with very little or no fixed gear, which makes it that much better. I thought it to be a way better climb than it's popular neighbor LC to the left.
I don't know what your startegy will be, but there is a bivy ledge on top of pitch 8. We began climbing at 10:00 on Sat. with no fixed lines, bivied on top of 6 with a portaledge, then topped out by 12:00 on Sun.
There are no blank sections above pitch three, unless your referring to a section of free climbing; and it is best to link pitch 7 and 8 with a sixty meter line.
It could go clean, and can definetely be done in one day. As far as iron goes, just bring along a few blades and arrows, and maybe one or two heads.
Good luck and have fun!
