Yeah, it wasn't particularly hard... 5.8 if I remember correctly, and only one or two crux pitches. It was long though, at 12 pitches, but what really makes it hard is the brutal 12 mile approach hike (and 12 mile retreat).

I think I'd want to camp basically where you're standing now...

Only two problems were no flat areas and no water. That and of course being able to make it this far on the first day. There supposedly were some nice camp spots just off the finish of the climb albeit with no water nearby. That had been our plan before our lateness and disorganization intervened.
