Description:
Starting on the GT, follow the flake/chimney of Three Vultures until you can step left, heading up a face into a right-facing corner capped by a tiered overhang. Climb the hangs and head up to a final roof, heading right and then back left and into an open book above the roof.

What a climb!
For me, the roof was the easy part. Exiting the corner was much harder than it looked. It's a great climb, starting with the step across from the pinnacle (I'm really short), through the roofs, up through a corner exit. Very exiting route.

By far the best Hidden Gem at the Gunks
IMO, this route is better than Face2Face, 3 Doves, Annei Oh, No Glow, Arrow. The climb off the GT ledge is varied, thought provoking and continuous. One challange after another, and each quite different than the last. I'd grade it G/PG. The crux is well protected...if you're fast enough to plug in that cam.
