Description

I feel this is the best of the three routes in this on this face. Climb slab up under an overlap. Pass this on the left to gain a stance. Make a traverse left that seems a bit harder than the original 5.6 rating then up to the anchors.

Why are there two sets of chain anchors on this line? Nov 17, 2013

Despite all the beta I had available to me between here and Adirondack Rock (2008), I think I still managed to get off route on this thing. I see from the description that I was supposed to go left around the roof but I went right, using the random two-bolt anchor for pro. I was definitely far from the first person to do this, but it felt pretty stiff for 7. 8+/9, maybe? You'd hit the slab fairly hard if fell, too, I think. Anyone know the consensus grade on this clueless variation? Jun 11, 2018
