Gearing up for the roof crux on P3. There are abundant placement opportunities here.

the intermediate rap right below the ceiling is a bit crunched, but at least I got a seat

She demonstrated a lot of strength during this struggle, with much of her weight on her arms.

Looking down on the first crux roof. An exploratory hand emerges...

Start

Nice shot from the hairpin on 12 December of someone getting some!

Crystal begins negotiating the roof.

under the crux

Many options exist. This being the groin jam technique.

Of course, it wasn't entirely over. Here she approaches the second roof, which some find more difficult than the first. (But not Crystal--she cruised it.)

pulling the roof move

He stopped and belayed in the middle of the pitch, at the top of the corner above the first crux roof. A very good idea if the follower might have trouble with the roof.

Some good exposure, although you don't notice it when doing this move, since you can't even see your feet, let alone the hairpin turn.

The best part

It's a tough move for 5.6, especially if you don't have experience with the Gunks. And it was Crystal's first visit.

My lead of the money pitch. Thank you Ashlee for the picture.

Success! And she managed to maintain her sense of humor.

Even my 6'7" husband, Pawel, was stretching to make this reach!

Elbows, thighs, whatever it takes.
