Red Point ascent by:
Not an easy 12a
Super strenuous and oddly technical low. Climbing to the final lieback block at about 15 feet was a struggle and the climbing from the first to the third bolts is definitely not a gimme either. The final few bolts of climbing are significantly easier, allowing you to relax a bit and enjoy the views. Great, engaging climbing for someone working through the 12's.
