The Sharpest Knife

Description

You'll need at last five pads, four would be pushing it. Sit start down low in a cave by the actual Pittsford Ice Caves mouth near the bottom of the scree field. Your left hand is a good gaston edge and your right hand is a small undercling in a crack/pocket. Move left hand out to a sharp crimp, then with good feet a right hand to a pinch or crimp, then slap out to the lip and pinch. Bring your left hand out to a great jug, then prepare for more hard moves. Get a hand-heel match on the jug with your left foot and bump your right hand up a series of very bad edges. With the heel still in place, move your left hand up to a neighboring edge and then slap for the top. Very sharp rock, all Quartzite and rather slippery. Also very very overhung.

Location

Very near to the mouth of the actually Pittsford Ice Cave, close to the bottom of the scree field. After the group of boulders in this area, there isn't much below them. Starts way down in a hole with pads very close to your back.
