The Garbage Chute

5.0, TR, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2.3 from 6 votes
FA: unknown
Maryland > Carderock > Hades Heights

Description

An excellent and easy climb for beginners. Climb the corner.

Location

North west corner of Cripple's Crack Area, southern part of Hades Heights.

Protection

Lead climbing is not recommended because the mica schist is slick and friable, and pro pulls out. Bring a 40 m climbing rope and 30m of static line for top-rope anchors. The trees at the top are really good anchors.
