Looking at rap station above Psycho Crack.
ID 106278773 · · Copyright Violation?
Saw this toprope setup at Peterskill a few weeks ago. Single girth hitched sling around an endangered pine tree, redirected(?) around a tiny branch, running over sharp rock, to a single biner for top roping. The leader missed every single point of a SERENE anchor. People die this way, and have died in similar set ups at the Gunks in recent years...

Topo of the Lower Peter's Kill cliffs. The one from the guidebook has some misleading/inaccurate information. PM me if you have any suggestions for improvement for this one.

Map of the area with major walls. From the guidebook, which you should buy because it's really helpful.
