Seven Cruxes

FA FFA: James Kolocotronis, August 26, 1972

UPDATED 

Description

James Kolocotronis originally called this route 400 feet tall and did it in 5 pitches. Known to exaggerate, his route nevertheless stands as a proud one for Vermont history. Described below as it is more commonly climbed although buyer beware, this description has not been verified and parties should use good judgement when climbing. It certainly looks harder than 5.8+. 

P1. Begin on the Neighborhood ledge and climb up the easy face to gain the crack. Continue up the crack to a stance in the corner. (5.3)

P2 Continue up the crack, then through the corner and up to a bulge and up to a two-bolt anchor out left. (5.8+)

P3. Traverse left around the overhang and up around the bulge. (5.8+)

P4. Face climb up, angling to the right or squirm through a notch to the top of the cliff. Gear anchor.

Descent: Walk off

Location

From the Neighborhood Ledge it's the left-facing corner. The most obvious feature on the entire cliff.

Protection

Standard VT rack.
