Climbed beginners delight last Sunday and had a question. Does this route go to the right of the overhang with the flake like under-cling I know pulling over that roof is not a 5.4 move It say to traverse right just wasn't sure how much.

Also For those of you who have set a top rope on coatimundi crack. Are you setting it from the top just to the climbers left of push mi pull you. or are you going down to where the small tower and block is? Just curious

Thanks

I think the OP is asking about a climb at Devil's Lake while others are responding about a climb at the Gunks

Mike, no overhangs necessary. You go around to the right, above ABM.

For Coatimundi, you should be able to set it high (trail level) or low (base of the small tower).

Thanks Doug, Yea i figured i could set it trail level for coatimundi. Wanted to try top roping it first before leading.

I was thinking "damn, my memory is really going, I was just up there a couple months ago and I have no idea WTF he's talking about!" Thanks, saved me a visit to a neurologist! :-)

It has an incredibly well-protected crux... but also strenuous. One of the ten best in its grade. Ultra-classic.
