No. 264

The wall has a slight ledge at its base which drops off to the right of the start. Looks for gaps where mortar is missing from the wall and reddish mortar revealed where some of the pointing has crumbled. The coping is almost completely missing from the a section at the top of this area. The Wissahickon Schist selected for this part of the wall is especially jagged for the first half of the climb. A large, lightly colored rectangular stone is set back about 2” deeper than its neighbors near the halfway mark. Following this ledge is a challenging series of distant crimps, zig-zagging a path up to a sparse, dynamic finish.

Come out of the north entrance of Cellblock 4 facing the wall. There will be a tall electric street lamp to your left and a moss-covered stone block partially buried in the ground directly across from the start of this climb.
