Description Suggest change

This route, between Shawshank and Folsom is one of the easier routes on the Prison wall. It goes pretty much straight up from the ground whereas Folsom veers off to the right. At the first crux , where things get vertical, there is a wobbly chock stone that has resisted all attempts to remove it. Just below the anchors there is an interesting hold shaped like the grip of a pistol.

About the name: Sing Sing is the New York maximum security facility in Ossining, NY. It is the home of “Old Sparky” the electric chair which ended the lives of 614 people, including Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953. The death penalty was abolished in New York in 1972.
