[Hide Comment] This problem is one of my favorite of the grade in all of Mt. Gretna. The holds are huge, and the movement is like that of a gym climb. It is possible to top out straight up with a heel hook rockover (V2), or out left on the arete (V1). In my opinion moving left is a tad bit easier. Back in the day, this climb was unnamed.

[Hide Comment] Either this or Jen Savage is the best V2 in the park IMO. Nov 23, 2016

[Hide Comment] Best V2 in the park, and one of my 3 V2's ever. Going left makes this soo much smoother and avoids an awkward top
