Hardware Route

The name of this route refers to the history of Sky Top's historic Hardware Route, which marked the first appearance of hammers at the Gunks.

The route is recognizable by the bolt that acts as the first piece of gear. It features face climbing on edges. This route shares its topout with Fine Pine Line (if the roof for that route is exited on the left).

Just left of Fine Pine Line; also recognizable by a pin 3/4 of the way up.

One bolt and one pin; and a standard rack. I didn't place anything bigger than a .75 on the face. Small cams were helpful. You'll need more cams for the anchor.
