A brilliant sunny day, almost too sunny and we were glad for shade and a dip in the Saco river before the day was done.
Nate Hribar and I were beaten to the start by 3 old-schoolers who graciously allowed us to go ahead.
P1 (guidebook P1+P2) definitely kicked me out of the "this is 5.5, I'll just cruise along" mode.
P2 was the god-awesome Beast Flake (belayed around the corner to get in the shade and to climb the next 2 pitches in 1).
P3 (combining the last 2 pitches in the guidebook) was the long classic dihedral to the top.
A dip in the river mellowed us to face the traffic (2hrs20min on the way in 3hrs30min on the way back) back to Boston with equanimity.
