Surprise! There's at least one in Virginia, at Old Rag. I looked kind of hard but didn't see it in this thread already. |
|
D'oh, how did I miss that? Yeah, never climbed it, but it sure does look nasty.. Maybe one day! |

This thread needs more photos. |

Bump! |

In NH, Conor Cliffe freed the impressive overhanging aid crack '357' out at Green's last year at a probable mid 13 grade. |

My quick scan shows we have missed these, |

Blackbeard's Tears....This must be 5.13 or harder . . . or not - it hasn't had an FFA! Lauri, I think, and at that point, still smiling. She bagged it after about 30ft. |

The Almighty, 5.14 |

And Necronomicon |

Excellent Adventure was mentioned previously by Luke but never made the list. Where can I find love supreme or whippersnapper? |

Did the General project (huge roof crack) at the NRG ever get freed? I haven't heard anything about it since I first read about it some years ago. |
