another pleasant surprise
Yet another Erie surprise. This route was way more fun than I thought it would be. Be careful with the loose block immediately off the first ledge. Other than that piece the route was pretty solid.

Red Point ascent by:
Multi-Pitch Trad Training
Time to do some multi-pitch trad training for 2 of my cohorts to gear up for a future trip to Leavenworth. One had never climbed real rock, the other is learning about trad climbing. PG-13 rating since the 2nd pitch can be a little scarce for pro.

Fun route
Can't remember the exact date but did this route quite a while ago. First pitch is a fun one with the open book. Second pitch was easy slab. For the third pitch we climbed on eagles wings (5.10a)

Ascent Note
I did it twice today (long story!). For some variation to make it a little harder, climb the first pitch of ZIG ZAG, then go a little left, use the 2 bolts on the face from ON EAGLES WINGS to the overhang on UNDERWORLD and slimb UNDERWORLD to the ledge. For Pitch 3, do the 3rd Variation.
