Anyone have beta on Three Pines?
I've found that you guys are better than any guide book.
We'd like to make this the last climb of 2006.
Thanks in advance!

Or, try this. Climb up to the GT ledge in one or two pitches and then walk right to a large, left facing inside corner. Climb up this a ways--and then traverse right, stepping across to the famous "shoe-box" projection sticking out of the cliff. Continue right around the outside corner onto a nice white face and follow that to the top.
It's a great climb--and my first in the Gunks--1980.

Curts response is excellent.
The first two pitches are no brainers...people get confused and scared on the final pitch which walks along an exposed several inch ledge over the dagger/shoebox.
It's not as scary as it looks, holds are plentyful and so is gear but you looking down at 150ft of air or a 20ft drop to the GT ledge. Air is good, ledges aren't.
