Description:
Excellent 4 pitch climb that requires sustained, fun 5.9 hand jams on the 2nd pitch and a tunnel-through on the 3rd.

Onsight ascent by:
Great views
Steep but fun climbing the whole way.
The 5.8 "chimney" turned out to be a squeeze that's more like caving than climbing. I had to go completely parallel to make it through. I didn't find it too scary since I wasn't going anywhere :) but making progress was slow.

Did the first 2 pitches
Felt like a different type of climbing than the other routes in the area. Step across was a stretch for me. Good views.

A little mediocre
but only compared to the other shining examples of excellent rock at the cliff. The step across is kind of neat. If this guy is 5.9, its next door neighbor is 5.11.

Red Point ascent by:
did first two pitches
I've done the whole thing before, but the direct opened up and we quickly moved into position to do that route after only the first two pitches.

Squeeze is too tight
We did not make it through the tunnel/ traverse/ squeeze. Helmets got stuccoed and had to back out. We rap down after second pitch. Nice two pitches though.
