Rich Goldstone approaching the first of the roofs. The crux for me was always getting to this point. The roof itself is easy, although intimidating, with huge holds.

What a fun arete!

nothing new here... just another classic shot from one of the most photogenic pitches in the Gunks (Bonnie's Roof, pitch 2)

After the traverse... some gear please!

Rich Goldstone above the main roof. It's 5.6 or so through here.

Taken from 9+ variation for pitch 2 of Bonnie's Roof. Fantastic!

Another shot of Erik just after the crux of Bonnie's Roof Direct!! Awesome position!! #goodbelay

Be careful of the moving block up top. Moves with the touch of a finger. Best to step around it and not to yard on this at all.

How to make this move even more awkward.

Rob and I on the belay ledge. Amazing views and such a great climb.

The route. At the final huge triangular roof, the regular route traverse left on the face then up the arete. The "Direct" (not really particulary direct) climbs into the right-facing corner at the right of the triangular roof and then left around the next roof.

First did this route in the 90's. Shirt and helmet probably from the same time....

Bomber hold at the top 5.7 pitch... I was told to stop and pose for the shot. Try looking down all that exposure.

direct finish

We split it up into 3 pitches

There are two old pins on the traverse and you can probably throw in some cams to back them up. Watch out for the loose flakes on this pitch!
