Description 

Much harder than it looks! This route was once rated 5.6 but now is a stout 5.8....

The trick is knowing where to jam cause there are too many choices.... If you get the right locks, it will feel like hard 5.8.... If you don't, it will feel 5.10.... Practice makes perfect on this one, and that's what I like about Pawtuck crack climbing, hard work pays off and you will be a crack head in no time....

The crux is at the bottom, it eases quite a bit at the halfway mark....

Location 

Just to the left of the horn, you will see a system of cracks.... Three parallel cracks of slightly different sizes...climb them....

Protection 

Many options, a regular rack....

Belay/top-rope from trees or gear anchor....
