Description:
50 yards left of Loose Goose is a clean white slab. Climb up and left to a corner and then up to a small belay under a roof. Climb the corner above to the big ledge. Pitch 3 is one of the best easy pitches in the Gunks. Climb the big right facing corner and then make a VERY exposed traverse right across the face to the top.

2nd lead ever. Tricky for a 5.3. Not as many placements as you would think, but a really fun climb with good variety.

The traverse was nuts. The route overall was a ton of fun though. Nice ledges for belaying.

Where the wild things are
Swung leads with Dana B. Neither of us had climbed this before. I lead P1 and 3, she lead 2 and 4. Pitches 2 and 4 are airy and "full-value" for 5.3. Beware of toaster oven-sized loose block on the easy p3. There is a dove's nest about 15 feet left of the p1 belay under the shrub, and a chipmunk who lives in the two-fist sized hole near the bottom of the open book at the p3 belay.
