Description Suggest change

RMC stands for Rensselaer Mountain Club, following other climbs called Harvard, Yale, and Penn. 

P1 - Climb cracks and a short corner to a small overhang, then climb right to the top of the detached block. Or - scramble up the blocks leaning against the face to the right, to reach the same place (this was the original route). From that stance, head a few moves up a crack (crux), then move left to a small ledge and an optional tree belay.

P2 - Step up and left, then climb the nice face over a small bulge (crux) and up a small right-facing corner to a nice ledge and another tree. There is a bolt anchor just to the left. Can be linked with P1. 

P3 - Step left and climb the nice face past some old fixed pins (no need to clip, plenty of cam placements) with excellent gear to the top and a bolt anchor.
