Planning on climbing Whippin' boy at Whitesides mountain tomorrow. Does anyone by chance know the pitch lengths? Is it possible to link any of the pitches? Thanks!

Here's what I remember. Pitch 1 of the OR. Pitch 2 is about a rope length. Pitch 3 lead to the high anxiety head wall. That pitch, the crux can be linked into the next for another long pitch. Two more pitches to the top. So I think the only pitches to be linked would be 4 and 5.

The 5.7 pitch after the crux pitch can easily be linked with the 5.9 pitch that follows. You will need to pitch everything else out.

Thanks both of you!
