Description 

First Shot is the located on the Hidden Buttress on Mt Willard. It is the farthest route to the right as you ascend the talus slope. The protection reflects the general vib of the area (sparse) but is adequate. The climbing generally cruises at about 5.6 with bolts just where you want them. Have fun!

Location 

Locate Hatties Garden at the top of Crawford Notch. From the garden walk north along the tracks for about 200 yards until a small cairn on the left. At the cairn turn left and bushwhack up the overgrown talus slope until the buttress is reached. First Shot is the farthest route to the right.

Protection 

Three bolts and a bolted rap anchor
