4 out of 5 stars Third 11 of the day

Flashed this on lead after watching my friend Greg climb the route. Good holds in general, and just barely found the crucial sidepull at the end of the hard climbing before I fell. Tried three different variations before I finally found the needed hold.

4 out of 5 stars Super fun

Crux down low, and then some interesting moves to a couple of good rests. Nice mantle before the anchor.

4 out of 5 stars Felt easy after working it for two days.

I worked this route for a long time to get beta which worked for me, then it did not feel hard at all. First ascent.

1 out of 5 stars Very Loose

Climbed this route again, and I found it very loose. There is a huge loose flake after ther first bolt that is ready to fall, and some ver loose looking rock right before the anchor.

3 out of 5 stars Fun lead with a good friend.

I was convinced to lead this climb by a good friend of mine and I will never forget the climb. The climb became more about the company than the climbing.

Red Point Red Point ascent by: madscientist on 1996-11-26 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Unsure about the date. Part of the first ascent team.

This is a fun route. Used to go to the top, but an anchor was placed at the last bolt. The topout was a test of route finding skills. I will never forget wandering around trying to look for an easy finish so I would avoid the whipper. Unfortunately the topout consisted of loose rock, so the anchor is a good idea.

4 out of 5 stars Unsure about date, but first ascent.

One of my favorite routes in the Andromeda area. Unlike most, I don't dyno at the crux.

5 out of 5 stars Three days of effort.

I have never worked a boulder problem harder than this one. It was great fun to work out the moves with some friends, and to finally send it with the same friends around. A hold has broken making the end more sustained.
