What a fun arete!

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.

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!

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

How to make this move even more awkward.

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

The famous traverse

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

Rich Goldstone racking up at the base of Bonnie's Roof. Rich was (is?) a strong gymnast and was known for his climbing feats of superhuman strength.

direct finish

gosh i love the gunks

Climbing up the dihedral

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!

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.
