Start in the center of the main face on the left side of the overhang. Follow the rising edge of the overhang through jugs to the lip, traverse left a bit. Then tackle the crux by surmounting the lip and establishing on the steep slab above. Easy romp from there to the top through ledged slab with somewhat slopey holds. Finish just left of the cap overhanging the top of the cliff.

Left Side

The crux is an arm jam about ten feet off the ground.  After climbing up onto the first ledge above the arm jam, the climb gets significantly easier.

Pull through the low roof on jugs, surmount the lip of the roof with high feet and an awkward gaston. Then finish through easy slab and ledges to the fist-sized crack  under the overhung cap at the top. Follow the crack up and left to anchors, or pull through the left side of the cap to finish on the summit.

Challenging moves broken up by good stances for rest. The crux is a left hand reach to a hidden crimp about 2/3rds up the route. Finding the good holds is what makes this climb fun.

Begin up the route with two flakes. A 0.1 can be placed to avoid a tumble down the hill (a fall before gaining the crack would be unfortunate). This placement is marginal and the flake could blow off if you fell. So be weary. Gain entrance to the crack using face/arrete to climb. Work your way up with a crack barely taking fingers. The belay is a bit tough as it is on a hill side.

Three sets of cliffs along the Rappahanock River in Fredericksburg, VA. 

  The main face has been heavily covered in graffiti, and is the first set of cliffs you come across.  There is access to the top of the cliffs along the right side, but it requires a short scramble at the very end.  The main face is usually pretty sunny, especially at the top, and has several easy climbs along it's front. 

  The second set, Little General, is a maybe a hundred yards downstream, and also has top access to the right.  There are two bolts at the top for anchoring.
