First Pitch

First Pitch

Climb the corner (sometimes vegetated but not a bushwhack by any means) to a large tree. Belay off this tree. Back it up if you wish, but if this tree fails, you're probably getting squashed, anyway. Although the crux is considered to be the 2nd pitch, I thought the first 20 or so feet was the crux, as the rock was a little slick and there was no pro. After that, it was easy climbing with good pro. This pitch is about 100'. Maryland Heights, MD-- September 2015
