Red Red Whine

Description

Red Red Whine

is the left-most bolted route on the

Red Slab

. The enjoyable crux is turning the small roof and is what makes the climb. The crux requires balance (or long arms and legs). The rest of the route is slab climbing on positive edges.

Note that this route isn't

Impossible Dream

(5.10d), which isn't bolted and is a few feet left of

Red Red Whine

. I think the confusion arises because the Ruckman guide topo for the

Red Slab

shows

Impossible Dream

and the topo location for

Impossible Dream

looks just like

Red Red Whine

.

Protection

7 bolts to hanger-and-ring anchors. Not a great top rope because of sharp edges, but doable. However, the anchor probably isn't safely accessible from the top without a belay.
