Cool route idea Ben. What climbing or scrambling rating does it go at?
In terms of exposure, the worst parts are Thimble and the knife edge ridge east of Round Top. The latter is not technically difficult but does have a fair amount of loose rock and a lot of exposure. The former, the crux, is Thimble. The concensus seems to be that reaching the summit block only requires class 3 scrambling but should be rated at a class 4+ due to the exposure. (Lists of John rates it at class 4.) Links:

In terms of technicality, Two Sentinels are probably the cruxes, specifically the north summit. Links:
