Thin Air (5.6)
360 feet, 5 Pitches
Cathedral Ledge
North Conway, NH
We did this route in 3 instead of 5 pitches. My leader
Geoff combined P1 & P2. And P4 & P5. The traverse section is my fave
section of this route. On our last pitch, the area between the two flakes were
really reachy for me, and on my first attempt I slipped. But I found the very
top section of the flake on the right to be a bomber hold. It was plenty enough
so that I could get my feet up and onto the bulgy flake on the left. I would
def do this route again! Enjoy some photos I took while on the route.
