The exposure is great you will love it.

Having one big cam (C4 size 4 is just big enough) helps a fair bit but you can live without. Climbing past the third belay and clipping the bolt and then lowering back down eliminates the chance of a fall factor 2 onto the 3rd belay also means you can place your big cam after the bolt. A size 4 is probably not big enough to go before the bolt off the last belay?

There is probably only 20 metres or so of at the grade climbing the rest is much easier.
