Phony Maroni

5.7, Trad, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2.6 from 33 votes
FA: Rob Sullivan
Massachusetts > Western MA > Mormon Hollow

Description

A bouldery start off a cheat stone (crux) will put you at a stance with several gear options. Cruise to a bolt (long sling) and head left around the right-facing corner to another slab (good gear on the face of the corner and on slab after pulling the corner). Clip a bolt and place one more piece to anchors. There is great exposure on easy climbing around the corner (mental crux), good holds, and good gear just when you need them. After pulling the corner, make one or two additional moves up prior to placing for the best eyebrow below the bolt.

Location

This is on the left side of Central Buttress, center of the wall.

Protection

Standard rack of cams up to #2, can place a nut down low, two draws (for bolts) and some slings.
