Red Point Red Point ascent by: olive on 2009-03-07 (View Climbing Log)

5 out of 5 stars great line

This is a great line - sporty start, thin middle, wide end. Good variety. I thought it protected well but you need to have a big piece for the last section.

I toproped this like a year ago so it is a redpoint (though in my mind I consider it an onsight :))

4 out of 5 stars Pleasing!

Fun climb. A little tough to protect, perhaps. Not long, but very diverse. Even a little chimneying!
