Comments: I dunno if I'd say that move was "very scary". I lead this my first time climbing outside and felt totally comfortable on it.

Comments: A few years back somebody fell from the offwidth section, broke a cam (yes...broke) and decked..which resulted in their death. RIP

Comments: I would say the protection is "G". I lead this route using camalots #3&.75 and the smallest Rock Empire Flex Cam. The crux is short and there's good stances to place gear.

Comments: Be careful of the police in this town. I was stopped by an officer with too much time on his hands and it was most unpleasant.

Comments: The Devil Won't Care 5.8, follows the crack through a chockstone at the roof to the top. Satan's Ceiling 5.9 traverse slightly left at the roof and climbs out a flake.

Comments: One of my favorite sport climbs on the most impressive face in Keene Valley. Surprisingly..most of the holds on this route are pretty big, but it saves the best moves for last.

Comments: Tricky for the grade..very polished after thousands have smeared on the same face. The crux is finding feet that will stick.
