cdent's Logbook (14 ascents)

After slogging our way to the top of Pistol Ridge something had to be climbed, and it wasn't clear we were going to find anything dry. Finally set to on this one.It was well liked by my partners.

Fun climb. Lots of edging. Clipped the anchors and then kept on going the rest of the way to top out for the _excellent_ view. Anchored myself in from there and belayed up my friends. Cliggett nearly broke himself, and we had to hussle down in the rain, but other than that, a very good time.

Blew off this thing at the bulge. Was my second climb of my first time at the Red. Had never climbed anything remotely close in height. After the first fall, was fine and slowed down enough to piece things together without any further falls. Went back up for a clean top rope.I agree that it is harder than the rating suggests, if you aren't thinking. If you take advantage of the rests and look ahead, should be cool.

First climb at the red. I was elated when I got to the anchors. Of course, I was elated when I tied in, too.
