4 out of 5 stars One move wonder...

Right underneath the first pin, it's a high reach (for short people) to the bomber horizontal crack 15 feet off the ground. Small pro, on the first pitch. Great climb. This is my first climb at the Gunks.

4 out of 5 stars Classic and fun climb

The first pitch is somewhat vertical cracky, plenty of placements. The second pitch was a little confusing, zigzagging... not really sure how it's supposed to go. Lots of fun.

5 out of 5 stars Superb climb

I've followed this climb many times and this is such a great, exposed climb. When I finally climbed it the "classic-5.7" way, I found it to have one of the scariest traverses. Exposed, standing on a thin ledge. The last pitch is the money pitch. Thin in a couple of areas, but it's all there... a true classic!

3 out of 5 stars Scary for its grade

I felt awkward on the bulge and it seemed harder to me than a 5.4, thus the name. Climbed it only once and probably won't climb it again

3 out of 5 stars Scary lead

Missing rock makes it scary and hard to protect the first pitch... not much to hold on to if you think this is a 5.6... Second pitch is a lot of fun, climbing up the corner in a crack

3 out of 5 stars awkward

You're kind of wedged in between two rocks and at one point, my hips/butt was stuck while exiting, was a bit scary. Probably one of its kind since you kind of have to crawl outwards...

Mostly crack, but not always straight up.
