Description

This is as good as Adirondack crack climbing gets. From the moment you place your first piece this route is full throttle, and it doesn't let up until you clip the anchor. Personally, I didn't even feel that there was a crux, but rather several well spaced harder moves with a whole bunch of hard moves between. It has been said that it would fit right in at the Spider's Web, and I cannot dispute that-it has much the same feel. Steep, pumpy, and difficult.

The gear is easy to place and plentiful, the climbing is world class.

Follow the crack system up to the white wall with orange lichen on it. Continue following the crack as it arches (Be careful of the hanging chockstone! Pull straight down on it, not out.) Continue up the crack system until you reach the anchor.

What more description do you need? Just get on it, because it's glorious.

Protection

Doubles to #2. Fixed anchor.

Location

At the right end of the "central" sector of the cliff is a slab that is 15 feet up. Right of this slab is a white section of wall with bright orange lichen on it and a crack system that goes up for about 40 feet and then arches left to a set of anchors that you can see from the ground. This is Andrew.
