Follow the hand crack up past a bulge(crux) and then to the slabby ledge. Continue up and to your right to find the fixed anchor.Pitch 2 Face climb up passing two bolts then move right onto a hollow flake then make a committing move into an offwidth. Scramble up easier climbing to a large dead tree and a wide hands crack. Pull through the wide section to a tree terrace and a belay.Pitch 3 5.6R Last pitch Gets a star for the fact it’s a fun moderate way to the top of the Cliff which has tremendous views otherwise it is a dirty Adirondack adventure. Not for everyone.

Continue up and left onto a lichen face continuing up to a long ledge. Walk left on ledge and then make committing unprotected 5.6 moves up hollow flakes eventually coming to horizontal crack at the base of a another large ledge. Walk right then down climb (last piece of gear) onto slab feet, past small 2 inch cedar tree and around Arete. Run it out 40 feet to the top of cliff on 5.6 terrain. 100 feet.
