Description Suggest change

Enjoy airy positions high above Franconia Notch on a hanging face, an exposed arete, and finally a gently overhanging crack system. Tall and wonderfully exposed with varied, sustained movement.

Scramble up the easy dihedral - make sure to back clean any pieces that you place before the first bolt. Pull over the roof by making an awkward move on a spooky looking, but completely solid block. Follow the crack left for a few moves (optional No. 4 placement), and then break right onto the face. Follow bolts out right onto the exposed, hanging face. Continue on the arete above, making cruxy moves separated by good rests. Climb higher into the steepening double-crack feature, finding perfect pro and sinker kneebar high on the wall. Smile and enjoy the view while you shake out in this awesome position. Look atcha! Now punch it through the super airy redpoint crux finish.

Location Suggest change

Just down the trail and left of the stone patio in a rampy dihedral. Look for a high first bolt just above the roof. The belayer should position themself about 15 feet left of the start ramp, directly under the high first bolt. Shared start with “Pin it to Win it.”

Protection Suggest change

Knot in the end of your rope. Single rack 0.1 to No. 3 and a set of nuts. Doubles 0.1 to 0.75. Optional No. 4.
