This includes land below the cliff to above cliff line and starts approximately at Eenie Meenie and continues south about 200 feet. Climbers are asked to respect the no-trespassing signs and advised to use the access trail marked in orange blazes. This trail starts at the intersection of the Blue trail over the top of the Nears and the first Red trail. Follow the orange blazes east and downhill from this junction to arrive at the far (south) end of the Nears.

Description 

Climb the slab to the roof. Put in a few pieces of less than inspiring protection, go over the roof (crux) past a small pine then climb more slab to a belay tree.
One star is perhaps a bit generous.

Location 

The easiest way to find this is to locate the popular and obvious right-leaning crack of Easter Time Too. Walk back right past a huge detached block (Zachariah), up a short hill, then walk approximately right 150 feet or so. Look for the 30 foot slab and the small pine just above the roof.

Protection 

Standard 'Gunks rack.
