Witness the Sickness

5.13a, Sport, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 3.8 from 8 votes
FA: unknown
New York > Adirondacks > A: Lake Champla… > Frontiertown Crag

Description

Maybe the best route on the wall? This savage route has pairs of holds perfectly spaced up a seam on an overhanging wall. Amazing.

Stick clip. Climb to undercling/sidepull jugs, then launch up the right-leaning seam. Sequential climbing leads to a crux rightwards to the arete, then a dyno to a good horizontal. Continue up the left side of the arete to a fixed anchor.

Location

About 10' left of Kung-Fu Kegels below a right-leaning seam.

Protection

Sport. Fixed anchor.

[Hide Comment] It is also possible to static the dyno. Get your right hand on the on the last crimp before the move. Then get a high left foot on the seam, lock off with your right arm, and reach high with your left hand to a horizontal slot just left of the good horizontal mentioned in the description. Nov 3, 2022
