Red Point ascent by:
finish the route just to see the shrine.
Stick clip bolt 2, which is an unneeded permadraw that's likely to get used elsewhere. So I climbed to the easy part and just lowered of the perma, uninterested in the Class 4 looking finish. MY BAD: later I learned there is a shrine with interesting objects up there. Downgrading to 11b, what Vino probably originally said, from my run and another guy's opinion plus Karl & Emily's inputs.
Beta spoiler: use the obvious starting holds. Right hand is a sidepull. Move RH up on that sidepull crack to the top to make more room for the scrunch feet. Feet stem, LH cross to bad slopey crimp, then bump to slightly better crimp, then smack the ledge out left.
