Red Point Red Point ascent by: mboise on 2004-12-31 (View Climbing Log)

5 out of 5 stars Classic Finish

Easy climbing fingers/stems to great jams. Rest well below the obvious crux! Then fire the slippery off/hand jams or you'll be feeling like a Retard!

3 out of 5 stars almost got the top...

had to pull through. Not proud of it but gotta record it so I can see how much better I"m getting, que no? The rest of the climb up to that point seemed really pretty easy.

3 out of 5 stars tough crux

I wholeheartedly disagree with the beta sprayed forth by Mandrake in an earlier ascent log. Pure crackclimbing on tough flared jams. Stay tight and stick with it and it will be over before you know it. Remember what's flared and awkward for the hands can be absolutely bomber for the feet. All that said, this route is as hard as 5.10 gets.
