Red Point ascent by:
Fun Climb - Bit Dirty
This was fun climb. As said before, one polished section. Very dirty while we were there, and warm in the afternoon with the sun on us.

Probably my favorite 5.9 at the New
I really enjoyed this climb and found the crux section to be very thought provoking and core intensive.

Hang Dog ascent by:
Rubber don't work on glass
Requires strong core power to layback through the slick as glass middle. I had to hangdog it.

Onsight ascent by:
Fun but....
Fun climb with a section of, you guessed it, slick feet. Makes Bloody Crack at Looking Glass look well textured. A few stems, finger locks and jams add to the fun. Top was dirty.
