5 out of 5 stars best climb in Peterskill

in my opinion- the most fun climb in Peterskill. i really love this climb!! it is super fun and sustained- especially if you like stemming and chimney type climbing. just have climbed it on TR, but...

hmm i think it would be cool to lead this sometime...

4 out of 5 stars Just as hard as it looks

It's "only" a 5.8, but it took me three tries just to get it started. I had to stand for five minutes to make the ringing in my ears stop as the world spun back to normal in between each attempt. And by the time I got up to the tree I was considering un-eating my Lara bar from the exertion.
I did not un-eat the Lara bar, but neither did I finish the route.
Next time, 'Ear-Ring', 'Vomitorium,' my nemesis. Next time. You are mine.

3 out of 5 stars Serveral different ways to do this one

I climbed it like a crack climb, but my partner stemmed most of the way. Nice and cool in the corridor.

Onsight attempt. Deep jams makes this feel almost like an off-width at times. lots of stemming as well. Took about a 10 footer onto a #2 camalot at the crux bulge below the tree. Finally got through the crux (felt more like 5.9) climbed up the under the roof and lost my lead head. Downclimbed to the tree and bailed off the tree.
