Onsight ascent by:
classic #1 camalots
This route is a touch wider than middle trinity, so I was able to squeeze in some jams. Fire in the #1 and go!

Great Route!
Loved this route! I liked it better than Regular Route: it's all climbing to the very top of the route, no 4th class pitches or wandering munge. Classic, all six pitches.
I don't think I'm a 10d trad climber, but I onsited the crux (which is short). The hand/finger jams seemed fairly solid, while the feet were smeary and greasy, and the gear was bomber.

one pitch
This route is very do-able in one pitch, with a 60M. If you do, try to save a couple cams between #1 and 3 so you can belay a little bit closer to the edge of the topout (otherwise there's a tree 30' back, but you'll have drag issues and it'll be hard to hear). It's burrrr-ly. 9+

Why only one star?
Huhn. Why did Gaines and Vogel only give it a single star? I thought the meat of it was a fantastic route. We did the Constellation start (instead of the 3rd class approach), which was pretty good. Also, from the point where you go over to Whodunnit, I ran it up through the roof on the direct finish. While the direct finish is worth doing (non-crux sections have some crappy rock), it would be better to have the belay close for the crux steep jamming section (at probably 10a/b) so rope stretch doesn't drop you onto the ledge if you blow it.

Red Point ascent by:
classic
The easiest of the Trinities, crux protects with #1 and .75 camalots. Save a #2 to crank through the roof. Wonderful route.

Note: this route is immediately right of Pillow Talk. The person talking about the dirty route may have been one line to the right. Keep your gear close down low as there's a nasty, tooth shaped block right off the deck. Okay route, for the grade I like Crack a Pogo, Pillow talk and P. Case better.

Good route to break into the grade. Good pro, short crux up high, safe falls.

Take two #4 camalots and maybe a couple of screamers for the old bolts. I've done it without them in the past, but it makes the couple of wide sections into no-fall zones.

Ascent Note
A new classic! That Roxanna Brock didn't give it 5 stars amazes me. Though just a touch harder, I thought it was better than Cat in a Hat.
