Stone By Stone

Nestled in the chunky schist on the left side of the cloud buttress lies a ~3 foot wide, vertical, white dike that extends from the the deck to the top of the buttress. Stone By Stone ascends this dike the whole way.From the ground, the route can look intimidating for the grade, but rest assured there are decent holds the whole way. Many choose to keep a left hand in the crack for the first third of the route but movement also flows if you choose to use holds only in/on the white streak. Regardless of how you climb it, it's hard not to smile on your way to the chains.The route is ever so slightly overhanging, so in a light drizzle, it is still climbable. Stone by Stone receives morning and evening shade and direct sun in the afternoon. The crack at the base emanates cold air year round.The name of the route was inspired by Robert M. Thorson's book "Stone By Stone", an interesting read for all rock nerds who grew up in the Northeast.

It is on the top left side of the Cloud Buttress.A stickclip is recommended to protect from a tumble down the hill.
