Red Point ascent by:
Wonderful Route!
I love this route! I've TR'd it a bunch of times. I can't believe it took me 'till today to even attempt to lead it. I guess it's just so easy to set TR that I never got around to leading... 'till today.
BTW - The nice rail that used to be just below the anchors is gone. The flatter ledge that remains feels a bit crumbly. Find another way to finish.
Also - The Prairie Falcons that nest up above the middle of the wall are back. They didn't seem to be bothered by our presence, but we stayed down at the right end of the wall. We watched them take several critters up to their nest.

Top Rope ascent by:
Decent Little Cruiser.
Nice enough. Somewhat crimpy with a couple of thoughtful moments. Like the route next to it, several flakes appear to have broken off.

Second ascent by:
Fun Enough.
Was looking for some casual fun. This qualifies, but... It seemed tougher than the route to the left. The previous climber mention solid, non-crumbly rock. But several sections of fresh-looking rock that show that flakes have broken away recently. And there's a large loose block along the arete near the top. (Thus my "PG13" rating. Please don't toss that thing down on your belayer.)

Christmas Climbing On The Beach = Fun!
The route is nothing spectacular, but there's something about hitting this crag on Christmas that feels neat. (We did Oceanside Right too.)

Friends had put up the rope, so I told them I'd clean.

Ok. Not Bad At All.
I grunted a little, but I don't mind a nice grunt now & then. I didn't notice any one spot that was especially cruxy though. Just casual fun.

Excellent!
The main roof felt awkward, uncomfortable, and very physical. OTOH, the move up from the belay station felt smoooooth and fun pulling up into empty space. My favorite move of the whole weekend.
