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
Masters of slab, this one is for you. Despite a couple of substantial roofs along the way, the difficulty increases the more the angle eases off!
Once you've gotten (into the) "Ivy League," then you can see if are ready to pass "The Final Exam."
Will be dripping water for most of late winter and well into the spring.
Location
An extension of Ivy League. At the chains, keep climbing to the top.
Suggestion: to minimize rope drag up top, skip the first bolt and stick clip the first perma (maybe get the tricky starting boulder problem wired first). Then hang a draw on the second perma to extend it a bit, and back-clean the first perma.
Protection
9 bolts
