East Face (Lexington Tower)

Beginning the lead of pitch 6 of East Face – a 5.9 OW that is not as bad as it might look (stemming and chimneying gets you past most difficulties – only a touch of armbarring). That’s a piece of 2X4 with sling wedged in the OW crack – interesting piece of fixed pro (August 13, 2005).
