Here are a few of my recommendations for starting to lead at Red Wing. These first few are all in the "New Vice Area:"
Jenna's Chimney - also would be good for practicing a trad lead
Dealer's Choice - very short so maybe not worth the climb up to it
Living Postmortem - this one has a small roof/overhang near the top
Goofed on Skunkweed - you'll love this climb. It's face + crack + a small overhang at top
These are all in the "Annadonia" area:
Too Low for Zero
Danger High Boltage
And the longest lead at Red Wing which will make you stronger at crack, face and slightly overhanging (plus at the top you can see fossilized coral)
Looking for Lust
Obviously this is just a start and many of you will blast past or skip these routes. But I've listed them in the order I think is easiest to hardest. And it takes a little getting used to the rock at Red Wing.
