Left Off Block

5.9+ R, Trad, TR,  Avg: 2 from 2 votes
FA: unknown
New York > Gunks > Peterskill > z.. Dickie Barr… > d. The Fortress

Description

Get on the slab, and then do the pullup of your life. The feet start high, so reach on up! The crux is getting on, but there's some hard moves left. Gets dirtier higher up.

Location

Go through the Fortress Squeeze, then down off the rock. There's a giant slab boulder broken in two. Start on the left side.

Protection

If setting a TR, there's one tree and one boulder, or consider trees one ledger higher on the cliff.

The starting slab.  Even on top rope this start feels tenuous.
