3-D

V1 PG13, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: ME in 2013
Pennsylvania > Southwestern Hi… > Flood Rocks

Description

Sit start on a rock to the right slightly down hill of the flakey overhang. Work from this rock (which is in a different plane than the main section) onto the main section and then cling to the flakes with leg and heel hooks to support your weight as you climb the rungs to the top. after you reach the last hold and pull your upper body up as far as you can (with footing or not if you are hardcore :) ) and then hang and drop for completion (landing is on a hill so just be careful) to top out is difficult and sketchy, no holds beyond the last over hang lip

Location

On the right side of the Flood Rocks peninsula, follow the trail around the right side along the hill after the trail go to the top continue for a few more yards until you reach the large over hang that is perpendicular with the trail.

Protection

a pad if your a newb, only thing that could go wrong is if a large flake breaks and at that point I don't think a pad or a spotter is going to help much ;)

Shot of part of 3-D, you sit start just below where my buddy is at, then work to the left onto the over hang. He is a newb climber and could not do first move from sit start or top out the climb but it is pretty easy, with that being said I say V1
