Description

A Maryland classic!  Start low on a blocky left hand crimp and with a right hand on the large rail feature. The large smeary block and smeary rail (about 1 inch wide) are on. Move up right to the jug, then over along the slot. Move up to the slopey crimp, make a hard move directly up to the top of the flake feature. Past this large flake feature there is a a crimpy pinch, and another pointed flake just before the topout. Topout with care, as a fall from here would not be fun. There are a few loose rocks in the dirt over the topout. DO NOT GRAB THEM. They are very loose. 

Location

Smack in the center of the tall face.  

Protection

Probably at least 3 pads. Working the problem on a rope is not a bad idea, as the holds may have a good bit of lichen growing on them.
