Description:
Great climbing on crisp edges and sidepulls gets you past the initial headwall. Enjoyable face moves and mantels pass more positive holds, bringing you to the anchor ledge. A stick clip for the first bolt might be helpful. Interesting note: one climber, upon pulling onto the top ledge, found himself staring face to face with a large rattle snake. The rattler was traversing down the ledge to the lower end of the cliff.

sounds like it
if this is the right route, this thing climbs like the slabby section of boardwalk for way longer. really cool rails. take a small set of cams or run it out.

Red Point ascent by:
Surprised
The first head wall seams to be the crux but was surprised at the face above , a few hard moves between rails to the top. Can run the bolts alone or use a couple small cams on the top section.

Sustained
Liked this one a lot. Felt there were some pretty sustain sections. Couple good rests but overall great non stop climbing
