"P4 Belay:End of P4" - The belayer is using the lower belay point (old pin + good gear) thus allowing the leader to also get good gear (Med.- Large Cam, just above belayer) before the run-out slab. If you belay 10-15 ft higher it's off small wires and TCU's. Leader has just finshed P5 and reached dbl bolt anchor below the headwall.

Climbed this excellent route several times over my college years. Bob Gilmore, one of the first ascent party, had taken me to Chapel Pond Cliff in the ADKs in 1971, and suggested this route.
