Second ascent by:
Fun
Followed this climb. The start feels like 10a and the rest, all the way to the roof felt like 5.9. I stemmed way out in the roof section and reached way up. It felt like 10a, but I was on second so I think it seemed easier. Nonetheless, a definite classic and I definitely want to come back and lead it. Right below the crux is a perfect BD .75 hole. We rapped with a 60m just fine.

Red Point ascent by:
Definitely not a good summer climb
I knew it would be harder going into it being the middle of July but the heat made it a little harder than I anticipated. It was still a really fun climb, all the holds are there. The roof crux is committing and pretty scary with only slopers over the top.
Someone previously said you can rap with a 60m rope. You cannot, you'll be about 15 ft short. I had to walk off the back.
