Take nuts and C4s up to size 3
My son and I both led this climb. Only one crux move about halfway up. Pro can be a little tricky in parts but there are a couple of good nut placements. We used a micro cam for the 1st piece of pro.

One of the best 5.6 climbs in CT
My son and I took turns leading this climb after work on Monday. Climb the low angle ramp up to the verticle dihedral. The lower verticle dihedral is the crux of the climb. We protected it with Red C4, Purple LC and a Gold C4s. If you are a new leader and not experienced climbing dihedrals climb it on a TR first to figure out the moves. Lose rocks on top. A little dirty from mud running off the top after a very rainy June.

Need large cams to protect the top chimney
soloed up the slab (EZ) then started the climb from the top of the slab. I did not have any big gear to protect the chimney so I escaped right after climbing the corner. Part of the inside corner was wet from seepage. When we got down there were two copperhead snakes just to the left of where you start the slab climb.

A great 5.4 that will take all the pro on your rack
A good climb for new leaders for not for your very first lead. A little tricky getting started but once you get going you can sink pro like crazy. Several excellent resting spots, just don't fall asleep :)

Great Jam Crack
This was my first 5.7 lead. I am happy I taped my hands up since I was jaming them in the crack to stay on the wall. The climb takes great pro. It is short but challenging if you are not used to jaming your toes and hands into a crack to climb. The start was the hardest part for me.

Great Climb
This was my first 5.4 lead at the Gunks. Harder than 5.4s in CT. I did not have a chance to do the last and easier pitch but will next time. I never climbed this climb before and enjoyed it. The only negative is that this climb is crowded and while we were setting up our rappel another climber came up to the belay station and started setting up a top rope before we were done.

Good pro at top (crux)
My first 5.8 lead. Up a slab to a short vertical section at the top. Good cracks for gear at the crux. The top left is always dirty from the dirt/mud after it rains.

Good for new leader
This climb is on the slab with a couple of easier climbs to led. Protection is good and the climbs short. Good pratice leading area for new leaders.
