Description

This longstanding project was recently sent by Troy Fauteux. See Troy's comments below.Start standing with your left hand on a sloping quartz edge at around 6 feet and your right hand on a small crimp at the same level. Bump the right hand to a reinforced sidepull/undercling crimp and then make a difficult move to an angled edge with the left hand. A few more powerful moves lead to a relatively easy top out. A worthwhile line with some cool beta, hard moves and very easy access. Somewhere in the v10/11 range. Definitely worth checking out if you've done a lot of the other hard climbs in Pway.

Location

This climb is located immediately to the right of 'A River Runs Through It'. From the parking at Round Pond, cross the stream and turn left, heading past 'The Sneaker Problem', etc. The overhanging face will be visible shortly thereafter, right beside the stream. There is currently a very large downed tree near the problem which makes it easy to spot.

Protection

A few pads and spotters will be useful. The landing is fairly clean, but it slopes a little to the left, towards the stream.
