Heart of Glass is a great sloper problems but it's definitely not a traverse...

Don't know if NY is included in this forum, but Star Chores is a fantastic v9 sloper traverse at McKenzie Pond...

Though geographically not part of New England, it is part of this forum...

I need to get out there and try that and the problem you did below Kill Russ. One of these days, too busy most of the time...

I ran over to the Stone tower area, without much time so I didn't get on anything but....I thought the problems and rock quality looked really good. All the holds felt very friendly and not sharp. Also, the super project on the Stone tower boulder looked amazing! I'll be returning at some point to further explore the area.

Wet Banana to the left seems more of a sloper problem than Tweaky Bird.

How about Slick 50 at Lincoln Woods? No exactly classic but not that many others in the area.

Definitely Slick 50, forgot that one...

It's been a while, but didn't Slick get some paint ?

Maybe underneath but not on the holds that the traverse follows.

We have a bunch of sloper traverses in the Adirondacks if you're wiling to travel a bit out of New England...just let me know and i'll let you know where some of the better ones are.
