Description Suggest change

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.)

Location Suggest change

20 feet right of the box, it's the obvious, somewhat broken left-leaning crack

Protection Suggest change

Nuts, cams (small to 2"). A #4 will fit in the large crack at the top, but you can get by without it.
