Nor'easter

3-stars as a TR

Start on the face about 10 ft left and uphill from the arete. Climb the face, traverse right on a horizontal crack (Var) and up the ending crack.

Var - "Fingerstorm" 5.9+ - Continue up the diagonal crack (FA Nichols, June 1980)

TR or Std Rack I can't remember whether I led or TR'd this. Nichols had this as a 5.6 in the "Green Book", at which time (1980) it was the first climb on the cliff.
