done
RP - went smoothly this time largely due to no fiddling with unnecessary extra pieces.

getting there
Went for it and ended up with 2 hangs on the face just below the actual crux. Got the gear beta wired and now I've just gotta get on and keep moving. Flamed out coming around the start corner placing the key nut and and cam(s) just before the crux. I have a feeling it'd go better on a day that wasn't so freakin' hot. Hard time sticking to the crucial jams when sweating so much but was happy to pull through the crux once I actually reached it. Still on the list awaiting a clean ascent...

redpoint
A moores wall classic. Cruxy right off the ground and through the crack and then some runout 5.9 climbing after a nice rest stance.

tried it before on TR...
and found just as tough this time. Got the start pretty well now, with a heel-hook into a drop knee but flamed out trying to get a handjam going at the horizontal 2/3rds of the way up the crux crack section around the corner. Partners were able to get jams in the vertical or horizontal crack but I couldn't find a good fit in either. Ended up liebacking the moves and that seemed to work but is quite strenous. Handjam looks like it makes for a good rest mid-crux... the arete above is thin and balancy without gear to keep you off the ledge just over the crack section. However, if you are leading this that section you'll be fine above if you find the right holds. Beta makes this route more reasonable, otherwise it'll test your grip endurance.
