Description

This formation is further east of Greatest Love Songs Ever Written Crag. From this crag, you can look due north and see the New York Dome. There are 2 routes on the face. Both are cool and both are around 5.10c . Both have some bolts and need some trad gear. The climbs share the same finish and end at a 2 bolt anchor. These climbs are about 90' long. The right route is Lil' Climber Chick 5.10c* and the left route is Yvonne 5.10c*. Jesse's Erection Manual (5.7*) is a trad climb on a large slab to the left of Yvonne and Lil' Climber Chick.
