Description
Climb Gumby Groove (5.7) to the big ledge with a big tree, at 95 feet. Climb a slab past three widely spaced bolts and a short crack (with one or two pins) through an overhang. Belly flop onto the ledge at the top (>50 feet). You can rap from a two-bolt anchor. However, after bringing David Light up (11/27/00), I suggested traversing the fin north, to the true South Summit of Green Mtn. We did and rapped from the anchor above the north shoulder of the Main Wall.
