Description Suggest change

A burly and difficult start leads to a great rest and easier climbing above.  Start to the right of some long, right-curving overhangs, directly below a triangular block with an off-fingers crack on the left...the block forms part of a short, open-book feature.

Climb up to the block and then up the crack to a really nice flat stance.  Move up and left, following a logical diagonal line to the V-notch in the overhangs and up to the top.  There are several good pines at the top you can use for a belay.

The real difficulties are in the first 15-20 feet (pretty sustained), but it protects well...if you can get your hands free.

Location Suggest change

As you enter the Old Hemlock Grove area, this is one of the first routes you'll look directly at.  Left of the route are some long, curving overhangs come out from a right-facing corner.  The route starts directly below a large triangular block with a nice off-fingers crack on the left.  There is also an old pin above and right of the block.

Protection Suggest change
