"Adventure climbing at its best" (guidebook). UNFORGETTABLE.
This little-know jewell is so atypical of the Red. 3 pitches, and, yes, a bit hard for people used to relatively easier RRG grade standards. Sustained and unforgettable!!! Please thread carefully around the plants (beautiful red flowers in the late spring) in the offwidth of the 2nd pitch), they make for a ethereal climb!!!

On of the most enjoyable trad routes I can remember doing.
I love this route and recommend it to everyone when the Red comes up. Do you really think it's a sandbag at 9+? It's an old school 9+ trad route, it's not supposed to be terribly easy.
The gear is there where you need it, though I found it a little tough to find in the flaring section of the last pitch.
