Michael at the base of the first pitch of "Dracula" (NEI IV+) which Hock dispatched with his chouinard piolet and north wall hammer with the home-made teeth. Michael took a head first dive off the crux, just 15 feet from topping out; he was held by a pound in cassin ice piton. The route is in New Hampshire at Frankenstein Cliffs.
