Description
Roaches is a Pitchoff must, as well as a bonafide Adirondack classic.
In the 90 feet of climbing offered here, you'll find a sporty right to left traverse into a brief crimpy face climbing section past a small piece of gear and a bolt. Next, a surprisingly easy roof is thrown at you capped with a striking finger crack crux that leads to the fun exit moves through a series of slopey cracks.
This route is a safe way to break into Adirondack 5.10s, and it is just plain fun to climb again, and again, and...you get the point!
