Description

Description is from the 1995 Saball-Boissonneault Pawtuckaway guidebook.The draw for this iine was the ramp leading up right from the start of Exorcist.  Imagine my pleasant surprise when I rapped to clean it and found a multi-pitcher!P.1 (5.11-) Do the first 15 feet of Exorcist, then move right onto SftD. Follow this for 15 feet, then traverse right along a thin horizontal crack to a small horn on an open arete. Down climb 5 feet to the top of a large boulder and belay on this.P.2 (5.8-) Up the first few feet of Frito's outside of the chimney to an exit left around the corner to a sloping ledge.  Pine tree belay.P.3 (5.10+) Walk up left along the ledge for 25 feet, then follow a right-diagonalling crack system (5 feet right of a right-facing corner) for 30 feet to the top.  "Aim for a large tree hung up over the large pine tree."

Location

Same start as Exorcist.
