Description
Up the left-leaning, broken crack, then move right into another left-leaning crack/corner thingy. Follow this up to the top. The last section is surprisingly awkward and strenuous for the grade. You can build a nice anchor at the top on the right.
This is a really fun climb with good rock. It's of similar quality, difficulty and length as Hush Mama Thrush at Lower West... maybe even a little better actually.
(This is called "Route 5" in the 2012 Tough Schist by Travis Peckham and "Otter" in Peckham's new 2022 edition, Vermont Rock.)
