Description

This route goes up just right of Hanson's Folly. There are 2 anchor bolts at the top. You climb onto a ledge and then ascend up the pseudo-dihedral. There are many small cobblestone pieces to work with, albeit there are a bit sandy. The beginning might be the crux for some, with a balancy middle section, and juggy finish.
