Red Point ascent by:
Good location
The fixed ropes leading down the descent gully are a tatty joke, the start of the climb isn't quite as funny. Overhung bouldery start which leads to some excellent climbing on the second pitch in the form of an overhanging crack/chimney and a cool move left to an arete. The last pitch was steep and interesting as well.

almost
Good lord, we bush whacked across from the corner. Wrapped off some loose flake down 60 feet of moss that was dripping then down some wet chute. That was just to get to the climb.
Once we got there none of us could pull the boulder moves off the ground. So back up and out the climbers trail.
