Tough but fun for a newbie!
New climber (about 4th climb ever), made it to the top with the help of Stone Age Gym peeps, and other climbers shouting cues to me.
I think I did the chimney (??)

no pro the last 20 ft
Good climb but without a Valley Giant or Big Bros the last 20 ft is unprotected since the bolt has been chopped.

Red Point ascent by:
First Lead!
Little bit run-out at the top. Wouldn't have chosen it as first lead if I had known, but it was a great experience.
