Description Suggest change

Route name given by first TR ascent.

The route starts up a dihedral with a very thin crack in the back of it about 6’ left of the start of Penn Station.
Climb the dihedral for about 20’ until you are able to start the rightward traverse aiming for a left-facing flake that is somehow attached to the wall. The flake looks dubious, but is actually pretty strong. Continue around the corner to the right of the flake and follow the rounded nose and thin right face to a ledge where it connects with Grand Central to the top of the cliff, or build a belay at this stance. It is also easy to set up on TR by climbing Grand Central to this stance on top of the nose.

The climbing is very thoughtful and involves recycling of holds, which is pretty cool. The rock is mostly bulletproof and follows a cool tiered nose.

The gear is small, and pumpy to place. A serious lead for sure. 

Location Suggest change

10’ right if the start of Alphonse and about 6’ left of Penn Station.
