Description

From the small ledge, juggle your way up the arete to a stance under a small roof (crux). Follow the bolts to a big ledge under the prominent roof. Pull the roof, and anchors are just above that.

Location

On the left wall (capped by a roof) of RE crag. Start beneath a small ledge just (very slightly) to the left of the arete.

Protection

5 bolts + anchors

This is likely the hardest of the routes at the Ohiopyle crags to date. Much more technical and sequence intense than the others. I'd add a letter to the grade if you don't milk the rest before the upper roof. Jul 12, 2010

I got smacked down on this route! I think this is by far the hardest 12 between the three GAP trail crags, and the grade is probably accurate at 12b. Stick clip is probably a nice thing to have as the first couple moves had some teeth. Apr 11, 2017
