Description:
Bouldery. Excellent route. 5.11b sport to 3rd bolt followed by V5 finish. No real rests on this climb, treat it like a boulder problem.

Red Point ascent by:

I like this route but it doesn't seem to get that much traffic. It's pretty thin but not too bad to bolt 3, then you get to the crux. It took me quite a few tries of bailing from the 3rd bolt before I figured out what I needed to do.
Once I finally figured out my beta I only had to work it a few times and then I sent. The longest part was just figuring out what beta I needed to use. I talked to a few other people and they all seemed to do it slightly differently - Nobody I talked to did it the way I ended up doing it. The route is very bouldery.

Slopey Bouldery Goodness
Nice and crimpy start then goes up to a slopey finish, really fun!

Boulder Problem
Was thinking a V6 for the entire route before. Now I'm thinking V7. This route is on you the entire way and does not let up for a minute. Probably 10-12 tries to finish.
Edit* Got on it again, felt easier, thinking V6 again. Easier than Scorpion child IMO

Top Rope ascent by:
out of my reach... for now
just couldn't make the moves through the crux (left hand pinch, right hand throw to slope from the undercling). Pulled past to the right hand sloper and then completed.
