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
Really fun climbing with a variety of hold types and movement, and a sequence or two to decipher... and maybe even a spot where you are likely to find some booty left behind by a befuddled climber who didn't. Those of you thinking about late night phone calls, get your mind out of the gutter!
The route does weave a bit to the left and right of the bolt line, following the path of least resistance through the bulges but the difficulty of the moves and their quality is consistent. There is a thought provoking spot up top where the moves are not any harder, but the beta will keep you guessing!
Really great moderate that stays completely dry year-round.
Location
Right side of the Katz Wall, just right of the large off-width crack that is "Dusty Squeeze" and to the left of the groove that is "Silver Streaks."
Climber starts on the right side of a tree growing very close to the wall, but belayer should stand on the left side of the tree (where there is a concrete slab) for a clear view of their climber.
Protection
8 bolts plus two bolted anchors with mussies
