Description
Short and forgettable this offers a few good moves, but only a few. Clip a bolt and make the crux reach/mantle onto a small ledge at the base of a right-facing corner. Climb the corner above getting gear where you can and continue to the top and anchors.
There really isn't any pro after the corner so falling exiting the corner is not a good idea.
With better routes nearby and the generally scrappy nature of the route it's hard to recommend this route. Half a star out of five.

- Named for the infamous New York crime boss John Gotti (aka the Dapper Don).
Location
Located just right of How Deep is Ben's Love on the Teflon Boulder (aka: Boulder 7), a huge brown boulder that forms the eastern edge of the boulder field.
