Description
This route is an intimidating, committing bit of climbing from bottom to top with multiple X-rated sections. The crux is protected by an extremely hard-to-place-well blue slider nut. Placing this gear is terrifying because you are already committed and runout at this point. One of the most dangerous climbs in the Gunks.
It took many seasons of working and sussing to be able to wrap my mind around leading.
The climbing is fantastic with unique movement and fantastic rock the whole way.
It is easy to get to the top of the block to set the climb up on TR, however the actual anchor building is not strait forward due to loose rock and a dead tree. There is good gear to be had, and a useful hidden pin. Bring a #3 Camalot for the anchor, or even bigger.
