Just fun
The moves are straightforward, feet are good, and route is probably not 5.9 if you go left at all. There is one 5.9 move towards the top if you go straight up, but you can cheat it by zigging left. Great gear everywhere. Just fun, fun, fun.

Red Point ascent by:
Nice Line
As others have said, this is soft for the grade (maybe one 5.9 move pulling the overhang), but it's got some interesting moves. Great protection. Also, there are ring anchors at the top now.
