On "Lions and Tigers" a route that was probably created by getting off route on "Lion's Way" or "Tiger's Trail."  Anyway...that is how we came upon it. Bugaboos 2007.

Comments: Toe Crack was orginally rated 5.3. Fasulo retro-graded it to 5.6 in his guidebook.

Comments: I don't know where you get the "R" from. You can reach up and place a gold Camalot in a pod in the bottom of the crack. If you want to be very careful you can also place a green one just to the left of the gold. Once you clip those that gets you through the crux and then you can easily place bomber gear the rest of the way up.

Comments: I'm suprised that there isn't any mention of, and more climbing at, Ross Rocks in Killingly. There are cliffs there 80 ft high. It is largely frequented by Rhode Islanders but it is in Connecticut. See www.climbri.com for route topos.

Comments: Just like most things climbing related in CT there seems to be a controversy. In this case a disagreement on how this climb is spelled: Dol Guldur - Dol Guldor. So it gets two entries? Seeing as though Ken Nichols first did it shouldn't his spelling (Dol Guldur) be the route name?

Mobley, This climb is not just a TR. It has been led trad many many times.

Comments: Lady's Lament is 5.10- in both Williams (black) and Swain. You have it listed as Lament-Boldville. Is this a link-up?

Comments: Don't know much about local ratings but this is an east coast 5.8.

Comments: The top can be easly reached from the GT ledge with a single rope and judicious use of 2 ft runners. If you are a new leader and getting rope drag just build an anchor.

The description of P3 above is the way many (most?) people do it due to protection issues but it is actually a variation (at least according to the black Williams guidebook). The original route goes right up to a flaky left facing corner with some very old pins and ends up in the same rightward diaginal.

Comments: The direct start is a fun bouldering move with little fingers. There really is no sense in putting in pro until you make the move and get the good hand to the left. I thought it was pretty hard but what Gunks 5.9+ isn't?
