Description This is one of the best pitches in the northeast! Don't follow the crowds. Come climb this materpiece! Spectacular overhanging finger crack climbing to pumpy and technical crux. Jaw dropping!
Some history from the Ed Webster guidebook: "Joe Cote and Bruce Kumph aided the first ascent of the route on June 15, 1975. The first free ascent was a significant climb of the times when it was done by Jim Dunn in October of 1975."
Trust me, onsighting this crack is gonna feel significant in 2024.
Location Woodchuck Ledge THE ZONKERS WALL
Protection I like nuts and cams. falls are super clean.

| Blackjack Crack might be useful. I haven't been on either in a while, but I remember black jack being a little wider and the face around it is much more featured, but if you ran laps on it, gradually using only smaller and smaller foot holds, I would think that would help. Zonkers is fairly steep, so you want to be able to motor along efficiently so you don't pump out. |
