5 out of 5 stars Conn Diagonal

Route is 5.6 in my Piana book. At that grade, this is arguably the finest rock climb of its grade that I've done - and I'm from the Gunks, a place known for remarkable 5.6 climbing. This is undoubtedly a classic, and it would be hallowed if it were at a more frequently visited crag. Airy, exposed, committing...the essence of trad climbing.

I've done this one most of the time taking the left chimney. Love the exposure on this one too.

Did the variation on the third pitch again.. just can't bring myself to fight through the maw of the chimney's. Still very enjoyable.. and altitude is a good thing.
