The Great Slab

V-easy X, Boulder, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 2.9 from 14 votes
FA: NA
New York > New York City > Central Park > Shit Rock

Description

Any of the obvious crack lines run at most V0, crux is just before topping out. Mostly VB. No roped climbing in CP---so no granting of more difficulty-appropriate YDS grades. Watch out for wetness. Don't ruin CP bouldering by falling.

Location

You'll know it when you see it.

Protection

Don't fall if you like ur legs

[Hide Comment] Lots of fun to traverse this thing left to right as well as going up and down. Aug 26, 2020

[Hide Comment] Nothing epic, but it's a beautiful experience to climb something like this in the North Woods.

As a condition note: the plants at the top have really started to flourish, as has the summertime algae. Be aware that the topout will be a little weedier and dirtier now than in the years when the guidebook photo was taken. During the summer, the algae will make your footing a little slick, so test those feet before you stand up! Oct 11, 2020

[Hide Comment] Feels like a hybrid; a class 4 scramble with only a few V0/V-easy class 5 moves. I climbed the first 15 feet in Crocs (not recommended), then came down and put the climbing shoes on. Beta video if you want an idea: youtu.be/l0MZzPfJs38 Nov 8, 2021
