Description:
Climb the diehedral. This is a burly lead. Bronaugh has this listed as 10a, Jarrard has this listed as 10d. I say it is somewhere in the 10.burly range. If you have the gear you can sew it up.

C'mon guys, this is 5.9 (no plus) at any other crags in the east: Gunks, Looking Glass, New River Gorge, T-wall, North Conway. A very good route, the splooge halfway up detracts a little bit. No real crux but lots of good climbing. Take as many yellow and blue cams as you can get your hands on.
