Comments: Wild, wild crux. Went up, in the notch (just right of the tree), couldn't get feet up; went up again, tried to use crimpers up on the slabby face, came back down; finally traversed right 10 feet or so and pushed out the huge mantle. Wild. There's a red C4, fixed, at the crux now. Doesn't look like it'll come out any time soon. Not sure when it went in, this year by the looks of the sewn sling. Wild. 3rd day at the Gunks today ... loving it!

Comments: Don't fall in the first 25 ft. Otherwise, super fun route. The roof at the top is Classic!

Comments: Watch out for "guides" spraying "beta" in your ear as they tail you or your second up P1. Awesome otherwise. My first Gunks climb. The traverse is ... airy. My partner yelled, "It's only 5.5!"

Comments: If you come in to the crux from the good holds on the left you can protect it with a small cam. Still not a comfortable fall. Going straight up in to the crux is a little harder. Roof on P2 is ... steep! Great climb!

Comments: Serious foot camming and little in-cut sidepulls in the OW made this 5.6 for me, otherwise ... harder.
