Red Point ascent by:
step at the outset
A very nice line with some tough thin moves going past #2 to the horizontal crack above #3. A good rest is had before the finish.
As bolted, the protection requires a crux clip at #2. To eliminate the crux clip here, you can use a double quick draw combination or a 24 inch runner hung off #2. This permits the lead climber to clip the protection and head on to the horizontal crack system above #3 instead of stopping at the curving left two-finger pocket left of #2.
First run was 2012/10/28: I hung all over it and didn't much like it. Glad I got back on it today and found its flow for me.
