Good route, crux is well protected. I would hesitate on the 11c rating though.

I tried this route a couple years ago and I just couldn't get through the crux clean. Today it went down super smooth, even though it was lightly snowing.

Run out from 3-4 bolts, climbing is relatively easy though. Don't fall. Crux is well protected.
