Red Point Red Point ascent by: burtonbc on 2009-09-09 (View Climbing Log)

5 out of 5 stars Spook Book (aka) welcome to the needles.

First pitch is dicey, long way up to the first bolt on slab. Second pitch is definitely the crux (and sandbagged), honestly the first time I did this climb I fell 4 times in the middle of the second pitch. The crack in the corner peters out to practically nothing for about 15', The top edge of the corner and the face are slicker than slick, so move quickly and make sure you do it in the shade. The rest of the climb is much easier but enduro. Great climb.

5 out of 5 stars Sustained Fun

First pitch is the scariest, in my opinion. There were some fixed nuts in the thin parts.

5 out of 5 stars Fun

Climbed it in three pitches. First pitch past the crux to a small ledge, second pitch in one long 60m pitch to a good ledge above a block and third pitch directly up to the top staying left over the bulge instead of going out right where everyone else goes.

ripped a fixed nut on p2

Stellar climbing! 2nd pitch was was the crux, but the 4th is enduro. Bring 1 #2 camalot and then multiple sets of small tcus.

Not enough endurance for me. Thought fourth pitch was the most classic.
