Red Point ascent by:
Excellent route
Just do it! Short route that packs a lot in. Bouldery problem off the ground gives way to fun offwidth climbing. After that comes the crux off-fingers section. Great stuff. Needs to get climbed more. There was a (large) family of spiders inhabiting the nether regions of the offwidth.
================
9/15/13: Came back and led it for the redpoint. Good beta at the top makes the finger section easy (kick leg up into the pod to stabilize).
