Obvious chimney system.  Climb cracks to overhangs, cower under them for a second, then realize it is a lot easier than it first appears, then stem your way to easy chimney section up top. In your face at the crux! super fun!

The Chimney

Left Side Cracks

Tunxis Twister

Vittis Vendetta

Left Side Face

Hackettes Heirloom

The Longest Mile

Boulder Face

Start at the toe of the big arete, just left of the chimney. Follow the overhanging plumb line straight up. Easy moves to start get harder as you climb.  Quality face climbing up high.

Running parallel to The Longest Mile is another good TR, Tunxis Twister. Climb the overhanging wall located to the left of the wide inside corner to the lip.

In the middle of the central face follow a crack that climbs through two roofs.

In the middle of the central face, just left of the arete, ascend the face to the top.

To the right of Hackette's Heirloom, a boulder problem leads to a ledge topped by and overhanging face that finishes with a big dynamic move.

This line combines a pumpy steeply overhanging bolder problem that leads to an exellent face climb finish. You can climb the obvious ramp on left to gain the top face, thereby avoiding the boulder start.

Shady, in the woods, fairly clean solid rock. About 50 ft high. Several obvious easyer leads. Other harder face routes and some very desperate looking overhanging walls. At least two whorthwile areas here. The rock is simillar to that at Chatfield Hollow, although much more textured.
