I don't think Gunky is PG13. It has good gear the whole way if I remember correctly. The route is a bit sandy, but safe. Don't be detoured as the route is really worth doing and a fun outing.

Bomber medium stopper over the roof. Place it before going over. You don't even have to see it, just drop it in, tug it, and go.

Tom's right. I did it learning how to lead. Placements were solid and not hard to find.
