Armatron, 5.9

3rd Pitch- 160’- 5.6/ Climb a line straight above through the almost perfect brownstone blocks (varnished rectangular plates), no doubt from where the wall gets its name. You can’t see the station above, nor are there any bolts. The first 30’ or so is run out, but eventually you cross several bomber horizontal cracks that take #2’s and several other thin vertical cracks that allow you to protect with wires. It is sustained at 5.6 and you can wander left or right, but it is best just to draw a straight line to find the anchor above which is a semi hanging belay below a shorter pitch of more of the same.
