5th pitch, the short and sweet crux of the climb. James crushed it. Left foot first! Thanks for figuring that out for me... I finally got it clean!

Pitch 2 on St. Vitus' Dance this climb has three excellent pitchs of crack climbing with spectacular views. Its a classic Apron moderate!

To help you find the start, which is deep in the woods! Two pitches of roots, dirt, and an occasional good move on rock are made up for by the great cracks above.
