Description
This delicate slab climb doesn't require much strength, but instead asks for and rewards precise footwork. The crux comes 2/3rds of the way up pitches 1, past bolt 6.
Master this climb and you'll be ready for inscrutable slabs anywhere. Yosemite and NH await.
While technically 2 pitches in length, the second pitch is so short that it is a bit unsatisfying.
Given how this may be many Philadelphia area climbers first multipitch, you should know that the belays are not at good ledges (semi-hanging belay at both anchors), and you should know the fundamentals of multipitch rope management and anchoring.
Enjoyable in late fall, winter and early spring. Probably to hot in summer.
