[Hide Comment] Does anyone have any info on the routes at the top of Breezy Point? There are 4 sport routes approx 50' long with older Trango?? hangers 5.9-5.10.

Thanks,

[Hide Comment] Andy Busse, I believe these are the routes my wife (Suzanne Johnson) and I put up in the early to mid '90s. I always wished there were some easy routes close to the camping at Breezy Point. Don't know if you can camp there anymore. We named it the After Dinner Wall. The route names from left to right are One Thin Mint, Wafer Thin, Desert, and Aperitif. Can't recall what we rated them but your comment seems about right. Jul 26, 2014
