Access Issue: Private Property
Details
The right (east) side, all roped climbing, is owned by Village of Hanover, which seems ambivalent to climbing. Left side, bouldering, is private property, but the owner has not had a problem with climbing SO FAR. Continued access is far from guaranteed! Rapidly growing crag traffic has become a potential issue.
On the bouldering (west) side, please do not hang out up top or go exploring above the main cliff line. It is private property and we need to keep a low profile. The owner has been hands off so far. Let's try to ensure things stay that way please. Hanging out up top could cause problems with the property owner.
Please do not climb above the roped climbs. Hanging out on the edge of the cliff without ropes is dangerous and the last thing we want is to have an ambulance/injury/fatality there. Please don't endanger crag access through short-sighted behavior!
Please be upstanders and take good care of the crag to help preserve access. Don't leave your trash, and even pack out any trash somebody else might have left behind.
Description
Start in a small dihedral with a finger crack (often mungy), crank through the two roofs, and then whip out some ninja trad skills to pull up through the slot.
Then enjoy the steep but brief jug haul to the top.
Definitely a route to get on in the fall. The bottom crack is hard to find totally dry, and the top will be dripping water for most of late winter and well into the spring.
Location
Far right end of Poison Ivy Wall, just left of the route on the corner, Casual Business

[Hide Photo] Finger crack start... where the ninja skills begin.
[Hide Photo] This is not the end of poison ivy... but we were working on getting there! Perhaps you get why it is called the Poison Ivy Wall? All that foliage on the wall to my left... Yup, you guessed it!…
