Sheep Thrills

5.8, Trad, 3 pitches,  Avg: 2.1 from 14 votes
FA: 10/14/1979 by Ivan Rezucha and Paul Rezucha
New York > Gunks > Trapps > g. V3 - Middle Earth

Description

I am only familiar with the first pitch, which has the same start as Dry Heaves but instead of traversing right on the undercling it goes straight up on the left side of the roof. Continue up into the right facing corner and follow it as it curves over and right. Rejoin Dry Heaves at the roof where it exits left onto the face and up to a two bolt anchor.

The rest of the route is described in great detail by Dick Williams in his guide book to the Trapps. For more detail please refer to his book.

Location

Same start as Dry Heaves.

Protection

Great gear if you can place something just above the roof. Perhaps a small nut or small cam at arms reach straight above or above and to left.

[Hide Comment] Does anyone know anything about the difference between this route, listed in the grey Williams guidebook, and Blind Alley in the black guidebook? Same route number, same ratings, similar descriptions, different lists of first ascensionists. Dec 17, 2023
