Type of climb: Bouldering
Description: Beautiful cityscape, even though Camden is only a river’s width away. Between the History Museum and the water there is only one problem in this area. Beautiful and committing, unlike my roomate’s girlfriend, it’s a sight to see get taken down.

Hey
I just wanted to let you know that Kia surely does not the FA on the route named Maritime Traverse. Scott Kinkele (RIP) and I did this back in the late 90s. Maybe 97. At night after his first steak at Jim’s.. We went for a walk afterward and were checking out some urban bouldering and he said, I bet that we can stick those letters and sure enough, He did it.. then so did I.
I am sure we were not the first (well, I am not sure, but I doubt it).
