Description:

An awesome route for its grade. About 100 feet right of Roseland is a boulder pile. Scramble up this and climb a crack to some roofs, then head left to a ledge. Angle left up the face to a huge belay ledge below a huge corner. Climb this awesome exposed and overhanging corner to the top.

5 out of 5 stars Cannot be missed

One of the most classic and beautiful climbs at the Gunks and EASY. Climb to the tree for a first short pitch, because the next pitch is a traverse to the left and up and around the bulge. I ran this whole pitch out, DON'T DO THAT. The third pitch is the money pitch... Super fun and chuncky stuff all over, and bomber placements, there are three/four pins on the third/last pitch
