Access Issue: All climbing is on private land Details

Don't bother the locals, and respect their wishes to keep climbers off crags next to homes. If everyone keeps a low profile, cleans up after themselves, and doesn't camp without permission, then this will continue to be an amazing place to climb

Description

Starts just left of Northwest passage on solid, thin limestone. Crosses over Northwest passage about two-thirds the way up. Ends at a two bolt anchor with chains.

Location

Between Hell's Kitchen and Northwest Passage.

Very fun and thin to start. Get's a bit confusing when it crosses over Northwest passage. Pulling the roof is fun, but then I wasn't sure if you are supposed to go right onto easier terrain or stay out left. Moving right is more inviting as the route gets sandy and dirty near the top. Sep 30, 2013

Starts out much better than it ends. I ripped a few holds off and more look ready. Felt tricky for the grade. Mar 22, 2020
