Nectar Vectar is a good un. |

I think the best hard routes at the Gunks are at Skytop.. |

It's not twilight. This route is called Ozone and climbs directly up into twilight zones roof, and then links into the roof of French connection. |

A brief list of the best routes 12 and up (that are legal, ie not skytop) would read |

Don't forget kama Sutra at the Trapps.. and that nasty little 11+..Wasp ? The Sting ? something like that |

Ah, The Sting. Good one. Maybe .12- for short climbers. I tried it on TR. The low crux will be pretty spicy for the vertically challenged. The upper crux can be protected well but it was a BIG throw for me. I thought Bird Brain was a little easier at .11+ but harder to protect and rated R. Road Warrior (.11+ R) is also near BB and Slammin' the Salmon. |
