Description 

The crux is in the middle and is basically one move the rest of the climb is easy slab. This first climb wasn't a ascent it was a descent. A friend of a friend of mine has gone and bolted the beautiful friction climbs we used to top rope. These top roped climbs varied from (5-7 to 5-10). There won't be any waiting to get on a climb here.

Location 

Hike the Smarts Brook trail about 2 miles and a sort of trail can be followed westerly to the base of this furthest in dome. On this furthest dome northeast side from Route 49 is the slab that is part of the Acteon Range. Descent became the way to get up to the top of this mostly one pitch dome.

Protection 

none, free soloed
