Red Point ascent by:
11b in the book,
Probably 11c when compared to the rest of the country. Great climb that most only do the first half of.

Top Rope ascent by:
Tough crux
Arete is fun. The crux--pulling a small roof with a tiny left undercling and tiny right crimp--threw me every time.

a couple hard moves
I've been on this a couple times and haven't done it cleanly yet, although I've only been to the first set of anchors. The move up the arete via the crimpers is pretty darn hard. Actually, there are two hard moves then you are through the hard bits, at least for this part of the climb. Looking forward to working through it and then trying the roof section. Relatively easy for the rest of the climb, but the crux is harder than others of this grade at Pilot I think.
