Description

This is home to the magnificient Hot Seat in Hell splitter crack! This area has a great concentration of high quality routes such as Burning Soles (5.11a), Platitude (5.11b) and Eagle Point Crack (5.9).

Getting There

To get to The Eagle Point area: follow the climbers trail past the great corner area for about 20 minutes, passing many trailside crags along the way. Best thing is to buy a copy of Tough Schist, the VT climbing guidebook.
When you reach the route Ethan's Delight , climb that. It has a single bolt protecting the low crux. You need at least a 70 meter rope to rap this route. Tie knots to be sure. At the top of Ethan's Delight, follow a faint trail for a couple minutes up through the woods to Eagle Point Left. Its a nice gesture to bring a bag and bring out some trash that hikers throw there from the lookout above! Doing so will enable you to achieve the karmic balance needed for Hot Seat in Hell.
