Description:

A stunning line up a beautiful corner. Unusual climbing for the gunks, lots of vertical crack action! Steep and commiting, and a good introduction to climbing at "The Bank."

The best of its grade at the Gunks. I mean it, this perfect juggy corner and the whole Millbrook experience in superb.

My first Millbrook experience. Very sustained climb on beautiful rock with all 3 pitches containing some 5.7 climbing, but the second pitch up the left facing corner is the best (with pretty much continuous 5.7 moves). With the exception of a 5.7 PG hang on the first pitch, there is great gear on the climb. One of the best 5.7s I've done.
