Description

Getting on it is challenging but if frustration risks turning your crew off you can guide them up the ramps off-route to the right to get them on the wall without the bouldery start as well as advise them to just ring the bell at the top as the top-out is a standard Adirondack freak-out which may be a turn-off to beginners.For leaders, avoid the temptation to exit left as it may be easier but loose. Most of the monkey-skull sized rocks and broken branches have been cleaned off the ledges but be aware.  Found a beer can pull-tab on the first ledge (from 1980 or earlier) as evidence of the 'this looks easy' trap luring party-boat people since the 70's... Top-out is definitely not a 'gimmie'.

Location
