I don't think Gunky is PG13. It has good gear the whole way if I remember correctly. The route is a bit sandy, but safe. Don't be detoured as the route is really worth doing and a fun outing.

Bomber medium stopper over the roof. Place it before going over. You don't even have to see it, just drop it in, tug it, and go.

Tom's right. I did it learning how to lead. Placements were solid and not hard to find.

Excellent route that can be lead with all passive gear. A selection of medium to large hexes, a set of nuts, and some tri-cams should prepare the leader well. Worth the trip.

Not PG13, placements are plentiful and solid

The roof stopper beta is spot on! Seemed like good pro the whole way up.

I echo this not being PG13. Great gear the whole way. Great varied climbing.
