This photo shows the first ascent of this very difficult and bold climb. Originally graded HVS 5b![like many other NY Moors routes at that time]. I am not aware of any repeat ascents...rumours suggest the start is at least 6b.

Was it never climbed without that high runner? Great picture all the same.

The start does look pretty hard on that, i guess ground erosion is a factor on that side of the crag. I wish that left wall had some holds on though!
