Description:
Striking crack line to right of Rostrum ledge. Starts out as wide fingers/thinhands with tricky feat. You are then rewarded with 30 feet of dreamy hands. One is then rudely awakened by 8 feet of some of the hardest "5.10" OW in the Valley. Get through this and cruise through an easier wide section then good holds to the 2 bolt anchor. Very physical!

Red Point ascent by:
Hot
Did this thing when it was like 95 degreese in the shade. Should have waited for cooler temps to attempt the onsight. Greased a bit on the first few moves but got them without falling. Cruised to the offwidth (note to self, 2 #2's and 3's would be nice) but didn't have gear for the offwidth. Way to hot to give a shit about the onsight so lowered, grabbed a #5 and climbed the route again with no problems. The overhanging part at the top was fun. Second pitch looked interesting, wonder why that dosn't get climbed???

Hang Dog ascent by:
Ascent Note
Cruised the "crux" at bottom only to be rejected by the overhanging "5.10" OW. Can't wait to try again. Did this route in a rainstorm and it was dry except for a few easy moves at top.
