Description Start on jug rail around the side to the left from Dirty crack, and to the left of arthritis,then reach up to a juggy ledge. Move you're feet up and feel around to the right, right below the pine tree for a crimp and bump to jugs at the top.
We cleaned several jugs we found under moss to the left of the tree...tree is no longer necessary to top out.
Location around the left side of the dirty crack boulder, the second problem around the left just past Artritis.
Protection one pad and a spotter

| It's a shame that this doesn't go up the mossy groove to the left of the tree, so that you could avoid the tree altogether. |

| Climbed this again today. This will be one of the best problems at its grade in VT once the moss at the topout is cleaned so that the upper holds have a chance to dry out. |

| Another one I have to get...I always back off at the last rail just before the jugs!!! |

| The move off the rail feels committing, but the jug is incredible, Once it's dry, you should definitely try it. |

| Tried like ten times today...can't get to the jug. tried going to the intermediate crimps out to the right but that didn't work either. I either need to bump my feet up to the start hold and deadpoint or dyno from lower feet! |
