Description 

From Adirondack Rock: Follow the shallow arch and thin vertical crack (crux) to large holds and a fixed anchor on a tree.

Not sure if I went off route, but this seemed like nice moderate face climbing to me leading up to a fun overhang/bulge. I climbed it twice to try different ways to get over the overhang, and I found the moves easier center left. A little dirty at the start, but well worth it.

Location 

About 4' left of Rockaholic.

Protection 

I climbed on toprope from the anchor above Rockaholic. No directional needed in my opinion. I can't make gear recommendations as I didn't lead it.
