Decent, but not as good as its neighbors

Odd start to an OK route. Lots of bogus chalked up holds leading to dead ends on the face.

Great movement after the face.

So-so climbing up the face, but super fun once you reach the bulge and roofs.

Red Point ascent by: brinosaur on 2012-03-26 (View Climbing Log)

Over too soon

Basically a bolted highball, V5-6. It is such a shame that this line isn't located in the middle of a much larger climb.

Red Point ascent by: brinosaur on 2012-03-27 (View Climbing Log)

Low crux for the short...

The sequence gaining the second bolt felt tough for the grade until my taller second showed me up. Far easier climbing follows with some slightly suspect rock in the sequence following the chimney.

Classic

Nice variety of movement, good rock, and beautiful view. As of 3/27/12, there are none of the aforementioned fixed draws.

Good

Bring lots of fist sized gear. The ledge up top is very nice, but watch those blocks on the left!

Good stuff

Very fun little climb. Cool movement between good crimps on the face and techy sections involving the thin seam.
The gear is pretty decent up to the base of the seam and again above it, but the thin section is slightly heady - there are marginal placements in the seam for a tiny cam or two.

Crap low, good high.

Yikes. Terrible, crumbly rock for the first two bolts followed by some pretty good face climbing after passing the roof. All of the rock around the oddly-bolted start is highly suspect.

Do yourself a favor -- stick clip the second bolt and aid up to the jugs. It wouldn't really change the grade, and more importantly it would bypass the chossy garbage leading to the first bolt and the ensuing traverse left.

.

Do it belly-to-the-bolts for a full on 11d -- wandering out right eliminates some *very* fun cruxes.
Neat holds at the top -- you go in expecting a crimps and end up with jugs at a few points. The start SUCKS for short folks.

Excellent line

Hands down, the best sport line in Pirate's Cove. Cruxes low just above the first bolt and up high, just after the last clip. Don't follow topropers' chalk and wander too far left of the arete!
The first bolt is high, but the beginning protects well with a #2 or #3 cam.
