Description
Maybe one of the best problems in Central Park. Sit start into a layback on prominent leaning crack up to a crimp. Match and move out right to a good sloper. Turn the corner, and into the crux..
Location
Starts on the right side of the flat, north facing wall at rat rock and traverses right, around the corner.
