Description Takes a surprisingly easy line directly through the center of the large roof feature on the far right of the cliff. Should become a popular beginner route as it is now thoroughly cleaned, has great protection, and exciting moves on big holds.
P1: From the beech tree at the start of Rona's Roof, face climb straight up (fixed pin on left) then passing climbers right of a small tree, then directly up to a stance under the large roof. Place pro and fire over the roof on huge holds to an easy, broken slab. Pine tree belay with fixed rap station. 70', 5.6
P2: Continue straight up the broken slab to a shared pine tree anchor atop Trifecta. 50', 5.5
Location Starts as for Rona's Roof, on a sloping ledge behind a beech tree. Rap the route in two raps from large trees equipped with cord and quick links.
Protection Trad rack to 2 1/2" cams; one fixed pin to protect the start. Fixed tree anchors on both pitches. Great gear all the way.

| Named for the howling of coyotes and the brief storm prior to the first ascent. The rap off was done in a steady rain. |

| Although listed as two pitches, this climbs best as one pitch, extending slings as needed. A 70M rope, thrown directly over the route, will just get you to the ground. Alternatively, the listed first pitch belay tree is fully equipped with a quadrupled runner and quick links. |

| We climbed this again the other night by headlamp under the crescent moon and full compliment of stars, and this thought came up in conversation: Is this the best single pitch of 5.6 in NH? |

| I think so I have done a lot of 5.6 pitches and I can't think of a better one. |
