Description
There are two ways to do this route, once past the huge horizontal offwidth: left open book goes 5.7, right open book goes 5.8.
Location
Climb left side (left-facing corner) of cut-out area straight up to huge horizontal, then take your pick of open books -- left side, or right side.
Protection
Adequate. Can sling large boulder for anchor, and put in additional pieces under it. The only trees in the vicinity are Pitch Pines.
[Hide Photo] Nice cracks in the lower part of the route.
[Hide Photo] First Day showing the version to the right which is the most direct and obvious. I tried it to the left after leading it and found that that a bit easier.

Fun and stiff 5.7 climbing, with some layback moves, up to the ceiling. Jul 12, 2010

It's a wonderful climb, though. A nice Peterskill trifecta around the grade would be First Day, Genuflect, and Cool Hand Luke. Oct 17, 2018
