Bit steeper than 50 degrees - probably closer to 70 or 75 with no handholds at all. It's a grade 16 slab. The only worry you have is your feet slipping and the rock isn't super-solid on that cliff - it's pretty standard for a few crystals to part company but usually not a whole edge. When I say hand-over-hand, think "reverse abseiling" - weight always fully in my harness and walking with the legs perpendicular to the rock, using the hands to pull up.

Also I wouldn't agree that the bolts are too close, just that they stick out like dogs' balls. There is another new route on the left of pitch 1 which has carrots, and you have to look pretty carefully to actually find them.
