Scramble up a ledge ten feet up to start on the slabby left face. The steep right face will keep forcing you left. Halfway in, the exposure begins and by the finish you'll be 50 feet from the cliff base near the top of the giant amphitheater.

Rough Around the Edges

Over Shadowed

Follow the left angling obtuse dihedral with small face holds on the left. Use the crack and anything you can find when the holds get smaller near the top. Climbs better than it may look.

Follow large holds trending right to a steep, hard finish

Long and steep but not as stellar as the routes to the left

Less steeper than the routes to the right but still the bouldery start the Red is known for. Slab crux in the middle.

Fun, bouldery hard start with a hard bulge move a couple bolts later. Mostly vertical

High quality rock and movement. Recommended to clip the second bolt to get through the difficult bouldery start.

Start on top of cheater stones on a large boulder. Getting past a mantel move to a sloping ledge gets you to big jugs up the rest of the climb.

A pumpy jug haul with a red point crux near the top. Enjoy a much needed rest the small hueco before making the final moves to the chains

Boulder up a slab with a cracked block on top to a ledge, then follow the slabby dihedral angling up and left.

Mostly vertical with a slightly steeper finish. Not too many jugs here but still good quality hardness.

Fantastic sustained pulling with great movement and interesting features. What's not to like!

Sustained climbing on mostly positive edges and jugs. Powerful down low with longer moves lead to resistance climbing punctuated by decent shakes.

Good movement on interesting holds and pockets with engaging crux guarding the chains. Hand jamming skills could come in useful.

Steep easy jugs but with a lot of holds still breaking. Not bad but you've been warned.

Technical face climb with some powerful movement in the bottom section.
