Description 

There is lots of loose rock above the right side of this face. To its left is the L Face. The climbing here was aesthetic in some ways and lends the sense you are climbing something a bit bigger. Additional graffitti has detracted from the ambience. With the big fill-in, it is much easier to access the climbing here. 200 feet of dirt sure helps. No dangling above water anymore.

Follow the sloping holds along the flake until you can pull up and stand on top of it. The crux is the blank section above. Strenuous moves on small nubbins and edges lead to the top....[more]   Browse More Classics in MA
