Description:
Great climb with some really good exposure. This is the standard route up the peak and other parties are likely to be encountered in the summer months. The route basically follows the south ridge (staying on the face to the right of the crest) to the summit pinnacle. Climb up the south face. Check out both Teton guidebooks.

Red Point ascent by:
short but fun
Only roped up for the flake pitch, chimney pitch, and final pitch. Good exposure on the last pitch with plenty of protection. Some steep downclimbing with LOTS of loose rock after the rappel off the summit.

Climbed with a guide so I seconded. There were 2 good pitches and a bunch of easier stuff, probably 5.7/5.8. The final pitch is a lot of fun with a nice sequence and a cool layback. Personally thought that the easy stuff was too easy but the views were fantastic. The scramble down from the rappel is steep, rocky, and no fun at all. It was a good first multi-pitch climb but probably wouldn't do it again.
