Red Point Red Point ascent by: gblauer on 2014-10-05 (View Climbing Log)

2 out of 5 stars climbed the face next to the crack

just to try it. Since I whined so much the first time. It's thin on the bottom.

2 out of 5 stars fun, easy

But somehow I whined the whole way up. I just had to stuff my right foot into the crack and ascend. In retrospect it was super easy. I was just whiney that day.
