Description:
The easiest route on the thumb, I can't remember how many pitches, probably 6-8. Some good climbing, but lots of grovelling down low. But its a good/moderate way to get up the thumb. Route finding ability a must.

Onsight ascent by:
shorts in march
we did it in shorts and windbreakers in March. Topped out just before sunset and proceeded on an epic 8 hour-single-headlamp-inthesnow-in-chacos descent. Puts this whole "climbing" thing into perspective.

Red Point ascent by:
Scary!!
Probably the most "out there" I have ever felt in my life, an adventure for sure. We did the Indecent Exposure Variation, which allegedly avoids some unpleasantries in favor of some fun tree climbing.
I had a 4.5 camalot, and was hella glad on the trough and squeeze pitches. Bring it if you have it, and are timid on off-widths.
The descent is wild, but really fun in a sick way. I am ready to go do this one again, after two years to forget about it.
