Description 

I would give this an X but I don't think you would die. Simply put, one of the most demanding lines in NH. I have no idea how Doug hooked through the start in 75' and Jim's brilliant ffa was stunning.
Perfect stone, almost no gear and hard moves.


Location 

Start up Diagonal to bolted belay. work up and left past a couple of bolts to the mini flake on a bulge.


Protection 

A few bolts at the start then gear up the mini-flake and go for broke above to a good ledge.

Doug took a lot of whippers from his final hook move before he got it to stick !

Still an awesome bit of hooking ! I made three visits trying anything to get this pitch and 4 more visits before a free ascent ! JUST BRILLIANT !
