Description:

Find an obvious wide crack right of RMC. Climb it to a good belay ledge. The second pitch climbs the chimney on the right side of the belay ledge. Excellent beginner climb-one of the best at the Gunks for new leaders.

4 out of 5 stars always fun, great for a new leader

This is a great climb for a new leader. While the gear isn't plentiful, there is enough of it to protect the crux move. The climbing is easy, the stances are great.
