Description
This late addition climbs a long neglected section of wall on the farthest right side of the Draw Pile. Stem and climb a crack for the first three bolts, making use of crimps and delicate footwork to ease the difficulty. Take a brief bivy on the dusty ledge before committing to the next crux, involving a deep sidepull pocket, high foot and small yet comfortable edges. From here, mantle your way up lower angle terrain, before clipping the last bolt and solving one final crux.
Shout out to EFR for the pre-cleaning on this route and the visiting climbers who stated "this would be the best route in Rhode Island".
Location
This is the farthest right route at the Draw Pile (Main Wall). On a white section of wall, you'll find bolts just left of a right facing crack. Route starts directly across from the tree and ends before intersecting with the crack routes that come in from the right.
Protection
11 Quickdraws (9 bolts + LOA)
This route ends at an anchor in the middle of the upper face. It's possible to join Two Is Not As Good As One for a couple of bolts and continue to the top of the cliff if desired.
