Onsight ascent by:
Crap down low, good up top
Climbing through broken, chossy garbage for the first 20 feet, followed by some very nice movement to the top. Soft for the grade (11a/b) and in need of some good trundling.
* 10/22/2011: A hold broke near the top of the crux through the thin crack about 60 feet up -- what was once a good crimp pulled off a softball sized chunk revealing an scooped edge, not really changing the grade at all. Use caution even on non-suspect holds.

Red Point ascent by:
Wow.
Took two big falls at the crux trying to work it out. Not bad once I knew where to go.

My first 5.11c flash
I almost chickened out at the crux, but my belayer (James) egged me on. Thanks James!
