Red Point ascent by:
Difficult start
This was my first outdoor lead. The start in the crack is tricky. The finish is a bit run out but the climbing gets easier near the top.

Fun route
I really liked this route, lots of variety and not too difficult! I thought this route was easier and more fun than Blue Spark...
