Mostly medium gear (cams, tri-cams, nuts); some large cams up to #4 Camalot or equivalent down low on P1 are useful. Bolted anchors.

Description:
This challenging two-pitch route can be done in one pitch, but it's not advisable unless you have a 70-meter rope. Fairly stiff for the 5.7 grade.P1: At a left-facing corner, either climb a large crack on the left face (easier), or for full value, follow the corner with a variable crack and some balancy moves to a large ledge. 40', 5.7+
P2: From the ledge, follow a pretty orange corner up past blocks to a large roof. Traverse left under the roof, then continue up a vegetated left-facing corner past dirty ledges to the top. 60', 5.7+
Descent Options:
Rap from the anchors.

Red Point ascent by:
A little bit of everything
Definitely a stiff 5.7+. Took a good fall on the first slab, but came down and took back to it with no problems finishing it clean other than the awkward 15 foot left traverse. Watch out for hellish rope drag after the last roof. Can be done in one pitch with a few inches to spare on a 60m.
