Access Issue: Private Property
Details
The right (east) side, all roped climbing, is owned by Village of Hanover, which seems ambivalent to climbing. Left side, bouldering, is private property, but the owner has not had a problem with climbing SO FAR. Continued access is far from guaranteed! Rapidly growing crag traffic has become a potential issue.
On the bouldering (west) side, please do not hang out up top or go exploring above the main cliff line. It is private property and we need to keep a low profile. The owner has been hands off so far. Let's try to ensure things stay that way please. Hanging out up top could cause problems with the property owner.
Please do not climb above the roped climbs. Hanging out on the edge of the cliff without ropes is dangerous and the last thing we want is to have an ambulance/injury/fatality there. Please don't endanger crag access through short-sighted behavior!
Please be upstanders and take good care of the crag to help preserve access. Don't leave your trash, and even pack out any trash somebody else might have left behind.

Description
Start standing left of savage verse 10ft-ish. I started direct, avoiding the dirty and more friable stone to the right. work through slopers and edges to gain a horizontal ledge system at mid height. For the last pull to the ledge use the fattest part of the hold at the lip. The thinner section may snap off. Balance off the rail to a difficult right hand sloping hold and do a big and somewhat insecure lock off to a thin horizontal crimp slot. Without a good matching option, there's another long reach to the lip rewarded by an easy mantle.
Like with the neighbors, the upper rock on this is really good. It would get all the stars if the start was more singular and the lower lip holds were not suspect.
Re: grade: Harder and less secure lockoff than savage verse with easier set up moves. Could be harder than 7, but my radar is way off. The last established 7 i did was covert direct in the red. In comparison, this was two full grades harder for me but FAs always feel harder, so...?
