| The initial corner is very fun, then you have to climb some run-out 5.4 to the GT and belay under the right facing corner.
The last pitch of this is burly. It felt like hard Gunks 5.9 to me, with an MF-quality pump factor. The gear is great on the last pitch though. Overall the whole climb was dirty, but I think with some travel this would be a great route, and unique for the Gunks because of the crack climbing. |

| Wow, I found this climb to be dirty, grassy and not much fun. It seems like the climb is always wet and dank. If you are into adventure routes or atypical gunks routes this may be for you. To me it felt like an adirondack adventure. |

| The first and last pitches are worth doing with great gear. It was dry on a warm January day, but I could see the first pitch being damp at other times. The crux on pitch 3 is good, pumpy, well-protected fun.
The second pitch can be linked to the first with doubles or long slings and thoughtful rope management, but is not particularly interesting. It had some loose spots, but there was gear to be had. Not sure I'd call it "R", perhaps PG-13 if not just PG. |

| 1993. The first pitch was short but sweet. P2 was lichen covered and looked decidedly loose. No thanks. Rapped down. |
