P6. Climb through blocky headwall, moving right then up a shallow lt-facing corner to slabs. Continue w/poor protection to the cow's mouth.
I am not that strong at 5.10 so poor protection scares me. ANY RECENT BETA ON PRO OR HOW TO DO IT "SAFELY" ?
Thanks a lot
Paul

He he . That only means that 5.10 R is scary for me. I am good with 5.11 pg. Any info on that pitch? |

It's been a long long time but I have done P6 a couple of times. As has been previously suggested - if you get that far - past the 1st 5 pitches - you won't have any problems with P6.

What makes me uneasy is the description from Rock Climbing New England (S. Green) Pitch 6: A long, scary lead with dubious protection and tricky crux. Surmount a steep headwall (5.10) and climb a left-facing corner to easier slabs above to belay in the Cow’s Mouth.
???
