Description The crux is right in the beginning, which is good, because this boulder is 30 feet. You just rock onto a high foot. This is the most wonderful experience with climbing I have ever had, and I have been to Pawtuckaway/Rumney/Acadia/Camden. This is truly a meditation in climbing. My friend and I climbed it almost 10-12 times in a row.
Location The route is to the left of the highball, starting near a young tree and climbing straight up, then to the right up the ledge.
Protection A few pads and a spotter.

| I am not sure whether I just got trolled (the Alex Honnold bit seems so trolly given that the stance is <10ft off the ground) or what. I guess since the rock and route actually exist it ain't trolling, just spraylording. Anyhow, I came across this page and saw that there was allegedly 50ft(!) wall in Westchester. That would be quite the coup, for those of you unfamiliar with the area, given how few walls of that size exist in the county (especially in the northwest). Turns out this rock is maaaybe 30 feet at the highest point and 20 feet wide with the described climb being something like 5.3 and kinda jumbly. There's one face line to the right that looked much harder. Landing is sloped and not really paddable, so yeah, falling would be bad. Rock is a nice medium grained gneiss, although a couple pieces are loose, and one broke on me when I stepped on it. |

| Sorry for disappointing you. It is pretty tall, not 50 ft though. I'm editing right now. |

| All fixed. Sorry for the ignorant and excited post earlier. My bad. |
