Description A fully-sustained fingercrack in a dihedral, that starts off just barely slab and ends up just barely overhanging. THE best 5.9 I've ever climbed. Also, the climb on the cover of the Peterskill guide.
Location Climb the fingercrack in the obvious left-facing dihedral on the right end of the Golden Wall alcove. Easy to walk off.
Protection G-rated - it's a sustained fingercrack. There is a double-bolted anchor at the top.
Stuart Koonce having fun.

| Truly G-rated. I am a nimrod for not leading this climb. It's beautiful, sustained and eats gear from bottom to top. Super climb. |

| A rare treat for the Gunks where high quality "G" climb are relatively rare. If only it were longer. |

| Beautiful climb that makes the Golden Wall worth revisiting from time to time. |
