What sort of rack is required for White Punks on Dope on Voodoo Dome? Also, while I'm at it, what's the descent like? Any good advice?

I dont recall anything larger than #2 or #3 Camalot or so. I only led one pitch but I dont remember any really big pro. The descent is a walk down a gully between Voodoo and next dome (Warlock or Wizard or something) Its a well worn trail. Being from Pennsylvania I remembering thinking the approach was strenuous. But Im not use to much an approach to anything. The route is outstanding !!!!!!! A good mix of different styles of climbing. I recently did Nutcracker In Yosemite and remember thinking it reminded me of Punks. Sorry not more specific but have fun. PS If you need more detailed info. My brother who did more of the leading will be back east 7/23 let me know and Ill ask him and get back to you.
