Description Fun moves on big edges and pinches take you through some dikey and potentially loose rock to the top of this blunt arete. Height and jumbled landing conspire to warrant a highball designation.
Location Vintage is the arete left of the obvious finger crack known as Warrior. This boulder is immediately to the right if you are standing looking at Storm Pockets. Or it is to the left if you are standing at Ride the Lightning.
Protection Pad the fallen tree scraps lest ye be impaled.
Best V4 at Pawtuckaway.

| As of Sept '10, a significant chunk of rock fell off the midsection of this climb before the crux. The chalky remains were laying on the ground last time I saw them, but one of the holds looks larger now. I'm not sure if it changes the grade at all. |

| I climbed vintage yesterday with that hold now missing. The piece that broke was the loose triangle hold that people used to get out to the arête. The climb isn't really changed without it and I think its even a bit better now as that loose hold deterred from the quality of the climb. The grade is still solid at V4. |
