Headless Horseman

5.10b, Trad,  Avg: 2.2 from 14 votes
FA: Michael Steele, Bill Ravitch 1988
New York > Gunks > Trapps > l. Sleepy Hollow

Description

From the block, step across the gap onto the face, and move a few feet up to a small ledge under a thin vertical crack. Move off the ledge (crux) up the crack. The climbing eases up after here, and you can move up and traverse left to the anchors (slings) or move around the corner, up, and right to a belay at a tree.

Location

In Sleepy Hollow, at the end of the Trapps. About 60 feet right of Wegetables I've Never Seen Before, there is a large left-facing corner, and just past the corner, there is a free standing block. Scramble to the top of the block; the route is directly in front of the block.

Protection

Small nuts to protect the crux move.
