Found on the Dragon's Reign wall, 20' left of the corner at the right side of the wall. Pull up onto flakes, then traverse left across the only pocket on the blank face to another flake. Continue up past bolts to anchors on a ledge.

Cool. can't wait to get on it! looks awesome! You called it Bear Mountain! I thought it you were calling it Bald hill now?? Irving calls it Bald Mountain on their signs. I like Bald cloud Bear Mountain

Also PJ, I'm going through the online guidebook, just wondering when is the last time you climbed Middle Age arête? I think it's harder than 5.11c...definitely harder than all of the other routes of that grade I've climbed in the Welsford area. I'm talking about the crux before the anchor. I'm pretty sure a hold or two broke off, hence why I ask when is the last time you climbed it. It may be time to revisit that grade...

Haven't been on that climb since just after I put it up, so it's quite possible that things have changed. I cant give any up to date info on it unfortunately.
