It's 5.11 slab, the undercling pitch under the arch is 5.13 and I'd say a bit soft for that IMO.
The first half of the route is absolutely amazing climbing. Exposed, sustained, clean, varied climbing all around. It's like if someone stacked Astroman on top of the Rostrum and beefed up all the cruxes of each pitch a notch. Classic!!!

He posted on this before? He said he did the arch and did not do the slabs, or was I dreaming???

Yeah; this has been known for awhile--- did the arch and that was the climb. Hearing about the party's impressions would/will be very very interesting. An Astroman with a Rostrum ontop of it. That is just huge news, folks!

Awww, well I'll have to personally apologize for my hiatus in posting a TR. You see, there was only one camera on the ride and it was my partner Mikes. We had a bit of an unfortunate falling out and I haven't spoken with him in almost two years. Anyway, I never got any of the pictures and a TR without pictures is scarcely worth the pixels it's typed on.
If you really want to see the pictures, try emailing him. He posts on here once in a blue moon as Oh Yeah! He might throw down a TR for ya'll.

Thanks, Salamanizer, for filling in the details that kept you from posting a TR. Dreary stuff those broken relationships, and sadly familiar. I would have video of the FA to show too, but the dream of that film crashed and burned -- broken relationships -- even as the climb was becoming a brilliant reality. The gritty details are just not that interesting.
But please write more for us of your impression of the climbing. We have been so mired in this to-rap-bolt-or-not-to-be controversy, that the quality of the climbing itself has gotten a little lost. Already, in just a few lines, you've given us so much perspective:
It's like if someone stacked Astroman on top of the Rostrum and beefed up all the cruxes of each pitch a notch. Classic!!!
Like two of the most iconic long crack climbs in the Valley, only harder? Please, tell us more! Photos we've already got.

Ditto what's been said.
A TR (even of a partial ascent) without photos would still be a welcome read.
Thanks!

I'm curious how the bolts were placed on the 'crucial' pitch 2 of Tehipite Sanction...
They were out front mentioning that they rappelled in, but come on now...Rap bolted or not?
'Appears to me that a route 'had' to go with all the trouble to do a photo shoot and not to mention being sponsored.
'just an observation...
