Location: NY : The Gunks : The Near Trapps : Shitface (5.10b/c R)

Comments: It's a well protected lead, provided that you don't fall. I suppose it is by North Carolina standards, but by Gunks standards, this is definitely a PG/R. The crux has protection but there are substantial parts above and below the crux which are not protected, or are poorly protected.

If the lead climber regularly pulls down hard 11s or 12s it is probably PG/R leaning toward PG. If the lead climber is hit or miss on hard 10s it is PG/R leaning on the R side.

Comments: If you want to TR Retribution, you can lead Bunny, and veer to the right to get to the Retribution chains. It's no more than 5.5 this way.

Comments: Under the roof on pitch one is sometimes wet if it has been raining. It makes the transition into the crux harder.
