Description
Gunklandia is a local classic, with 3 fun pitches and a little bit of spice at the end. It starts a little down hill from old town.
The first two pitches are commonly combined into one and follow an easy corner system and crack to a spacious belay ledge with rap anchors. From here up and to the right takes you to a bomb bay chimney which puts the sting in the tail of this scorpion.
Have fun.

[Maine Admin. note: The "Direct" variation ( 15 ft of unprotected 5.9 on P1) starts on cracks about 10 ft to the right of the regular route (photo). R Hall. If anyone has a photo of someone climbing it it would be greatly appreciated if you posted it. ]
Location
The dead log mentioned in the guidebook is no longer there. Location should read: Directly above granite steps, at a pair of striking orange cracks, 40' downhill from Old Town.
Follow the finger cracks up to get to a little ledge, then a larger crack leads you up to the belay ledge and the end of the second pitch.
