A really nice short power endurance route. After the intro climbing to the break, climb through several bolts of sustained crimping on excellent, albeit occasionally small incut edges.

The Hunter and His Dog

This route climbs the thin seam that bisects the middle of the wall.

 Technically G gear with great rock (for Smuggs standards), but given how short and bouldery the route is, backing up gear with nests is advisable. 

 Accessing this route to top rope is a breeze. There is small ledge on the climbers right that leads to a bolted rap anchor. A short 10 ft rappel gets you to the route anchors.  You may want to bring two shoulder length draws for the anchor. 

 BE AWARE: there is a massive death block on top of anchor. It is easy to avoid, but do not pull on it or risk certain death.

 This line was originally aided by Nate Vince, calling it Cellar Door A2. If you decide to aid it, please revisit your life choices and do not use pins or alter the rock in any way.

Rock climbing on the Hunter and Dog feature. The hunter and his dog are a longtime tourist attraction that can be viewed in profile from the first parking area on the right on the Stowe side.

 A short approach (2-3 mins) leads to a few high quality rock climbs on a ~20 degree overhanging face. Only sunny for a few hours in the late afternoon.
