Description

Some thoughtful moves and some fun moves.

Up left side of gully, then up into V chimney.

. . In the first ten feet off off the ground, much easier if find just the right positive handholds that work together with positive footholds. If not finding positive handholds, need to feel around more. If not finding positive footholds, need to hang out and look some more (or have a partner point them out).

. . For some people, the crux is the first ten feet off the ground -- so if on top-rope and having trouble with that, perhaps can "yard" through it by grabbing the belayer's strand of rope -- then enjoy interesting climbing above.

warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Location

Gully at Left side of main right face of Manayunk. Below high V chimney at left side of main right face.
