Top Rope ascent by:
great crack
wish I had time to lead it. Would probably traverse in from above the initial roof, rather than do the sketchy .11 R section. Awesome splitter, tronsite!

Red Point ascent by:
Mmmmm.... splitter finger crack!
Bring small nuts for the 5.11b R section. I think if you throw enough of the little guys in, you can make it significantly safer. I followed this clean earlier in the month. What a beautiful climb!
