Description 

Redskin is on the north side of a huge boulder/block called The Saddlehorn Formation, located in the narrow canyon just right of The Kid The route will be facing you as you approach it (same apprach as for The Kid and Walk on the Wild Side). Start by climbing to the top of an adjacent block, then stem over to clip the first bolt. Climb overhanging patina past 4 bolts, then make a delicate move right around the arete and finish with slabbier face past 2 more bolts. 2 bolt anchor on top with 70 foot rappel. Maybe two out of five stars.

Protection 

6 bolts, 2 bolt rap anchor (70 ft)
