Red Point ascent by:
Real dirty and wide
The start is extremely dirty and involves some OW climbing. The climbing gets much better towards the top as it turns into a good jam crack. Probably on par with Sanscrit in terms of 5.8 difficulty.

Hang Dog ascent by:
Old-school 5.8
This is a cool route, but it's a 5.8 in the same category with Goldenlocks -- a real sandbag. I blew the onsight lead with a fall at the crux (moving through the awkward chimney section) but finished the lead with no further problems. A real workout.
