4 out of 5 stars Yeay Yoga!

Being flexible sure helps... as does being small. I'm almost positive I had more fun on this route than my 6'5" partner!

4 out of 5 stars Fun Escape Route

Wanted an easy top out after my arms were feeling pumped and the group I was with had this setup. Actually a fun easy climb, good for stemming and such, was happy to be pushing myself up the rock rather than pulling!

4 out of 5 stars Its a chimney

Fun route with easy moves. Often used by guide groups. See Jeff Butterfield's "Acadia: A Climber's Guide" for more info. Notable because its a chimney using a seastack on the ocean.
