Gara Gorge

** Hope 20m 16
Peter at the top. The best bit is the steep hand crack you can see shaded at the bottom. After that you can do it no hands, almost.

A nice tricky slab climb - the first bolts ever in New England.

* Illusion 10m 13
Peter posing. This is a lovely little corner, with an interesting "two-way" crack making for hard-to-see pro. There's convenient rap chains at the top.

* Layabout 15m 17
Me at the top after my onsight. The best bit is the thin crack at the bottom, but lack of photographic skills (we won't say who by, will we Peter?) means it got half cut out! I'd highly recommend stepping R after the nice crack to the arete, "Going Steady", which makes for a 2 star classic!
