5.8 Face

5.8 X, TR, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2.9 from 7 votes
FA: N/A
Massachusetts > Central, MA > Crow Hill & Leo… > Redemption Crag

Description

This has fairly sustained and occasionally thin face climbing up the steep slab on perfect rock to the small overlap. Make a bouldery move on good holds to mantel over the overlap, then climb some less-than-inspiring, easy ground for another 20 feet to the top. Pin scars in the crack up top (anchor) indicate this used to be a popular TR.

Location

This ascends the thin face in the slab to the left of Slytherin.

Protection

TR... there is little to no gear for the 1st 30 feet (the crux). A small horizontal crack in the summit block makes a good TR anchor with just passive gear.
