Obscure routes in the Gunks

Creaky joints and trigger points.....   if you can find it

“Climb and Punishment”, Ventre De Beouf”, “Harvest Moon”, “Lost City Crack”...etc, etc, etc...

Happy exploring 

I think if you really want to climb obscure routes you should head to the nears and take a look at the Maroon Dick Williams guide of the Nears. It will definitely be an adventure. 

If you liked Low Exposure (one of my favorite short climbs), other routes with atypical styles in the gunks that I remember liking include:
Trapped Like a Rat (5.8)
Ventre De Boeuf (5.9)
Last Frontier (5.10)
Stirrup Trouble (5.10c)
Disco Death March (5.10d)
Criss (5.11a)
Climb and Punishment (5.11b)

(Also if anyone needs a partner for climbs like Disco Death March, message me!)

Disco Death March

Ventre De Boeuf (it isn’t 5.10a don’t know who tried to bump the rating).

There’s some stuff over in peterskill (cubana club or somethin?) it has a short offwidth/chimney section at the top. Forget the others.

Check your PM and I sent you a message

On a secondary note.

Does anyone know the name/grade of the overhanging finger/hand crack that is located near the Conception boulder problem?

Yellow Belly (5.8 nears) wild fun and varied
Walter Mitty (5.8 Uber Fall) short but great face climbing
P2 of easy v (5.3 trapps)
The Blackout (5.9 trapps)
The last will be the first (5.6 trapps)

Tennish anyone (trapps)
Old route (mill brook
Dog Stick Ridge(nears)

The routes on Slime Wall are super fun (Wet Dream, Golden Showers), and didn't seem to get too much traffic when I was there ten years ago.
