Run out and balancy. Not really psyched with this route. Easy climbing, though really easy to get off route if you arent paying attention.

This is a really fun interesting route. Really bouldery start up to the third clip. 5.8 climbing after that to the anchors. Really hard to onsight this route. VERY sequential. Got it second try.

5 out of 5 stars Chinese Freedom

Probably the best climb at Red Wing. Such an awesome crux sequence. Psyched to get the flash on it. Really had to work for it.

Not a bad climb. Has an interesting mantle move halfway up which makes it sorta fun.

One move wonder. 5.8 climbing up to a poor crimp, then a bump to a jug. Better beta is to go out left instead of using the poor crimp, and pinching down on a little nub, then throw for the jug. Good warmup route. Easiest 10c in the world, though.

3 out of 5 stars Needles and Pins

Good route. There are a couple different ways you can get up it. Straight up the middle, a little to the right, or out to the left. All variations are about the same difficulty until you get to the top. I somehow got way out to the side of the second to last clip and had to make a really reachy clip. Still got the onsight, but had to work the nerves.

Probably the best 10 at Red Wing. Good climbing all the way through. Hump your way up the bulge and wish you had a smaller bum, fun times. :)

Some people were saying a vital flake broke off right after the first bolt. Dont know if that is true, but if that's true, then the beginning section is probably now atleast 10b.

2 out of 5 stars Pidgeon Paranoia

Dirty climb. The slab finish kinda comes out of nowhere. With the way the rest of the climb goes, you really dont expect it. It can be a bit unnerving up there, trust your feet and gut through it though and it's really pretty easy.

3 out of 5 stars Suicide Squeeze

Like most climbs on this wall, all the business is done within the first few clips. Rest of the climbing is a formality. I liked the first three clips worth of climbing though. Balancy.

4 out of 5 stars Work Ethic

First three bolts are like a boulder problem. Cool stretched out moves between crimps. Easy climbing after third clip. Long rest on the ledge if you need it. Dont know if I really agree with the 12a. Maybe hard 11d?
