Description

Slabby face climbing with some horizontals. This is one of the only good lead climbs at this crag.

(This route was named "Route 9" in Tough Schist by Travis Peckham and "Kestrel" in Peckham's subsequent Vermont Rock.)

Location

This is 100 feet right of the big perched block. The start is right in front of a striated boulder. You just climb up between the two easy-looking cracks, wherever you want.
