Grinch Breath

This is a marvelously thin line and a real celebration of the synergy between textured rock and sticky rubber. The only true hand hold is at the top. It is also still a bit dirty and could use a little love.

This climbs the steep section just right of Pale Blue Eyes and just left of an obvious uncleaned mossy area. Smear up the steep section aiming for an small hand hold near the top. About two thirds of the way up, you will meet slight, right-facing flake: the crux is below this after which the climbing eases but not considerably. Once you reach the hand hold, head left to the belay tree.

This is maybe three stars for those who like smearing on nasty Cape Ann granite.

A few more moves gets you to a lichen section where you will find the finishing the hand hold, then head left to the belay tree.

2 bolts at the top.
