Description
A diagonal finger-width crack starts at the ground, and trends upwards to climber's right for about 25-30 feet where it meets a short, vertical crack. Getting up the vertical crack is the crux. This crack takes bomber pro. But you can't get a piece in above you for the moves up and over the difficulty. Take some care as to where you have your feet in relation to the rope as you move up.
Location
A huge blocky slab is directly across Passaconaway Road from the Covered Bridge. Walk around to the southeast side of this block and you'll see a nice finger-width crack that starts from the ground, and trends diagonally up and to climber's right.
The descent is an easy walk down the blocky slab towards the bridge.
Protection
Standard rack. Small to medium cams (and nuts, tricams, and hexes if you are old school).
Once you get to the top, you can walk back and belay from a beefy tree upwards and right.
