Description:
This is in my opinion the best of the 5.6's in the Gunks. I thought it beat High E. It has a hanging belay, beautiful views and a nice little ceiling at the end of the last pitch. Recommend skipping the first belay and going right to hanging belay. The climb can be done in 2 pitches. Starting at the crack and climbing up to the ledge rather then scrambling to the first belay makes for a better climb. A black Alien is buried in a crack shortly past the first belay. Don't waste your time-it is buried!

Awesome!
I like Madam G's better than High E mostly because all 3 pitches offer interesting and somewhat challenging climbing for the grade. We did this in 3 pitches because for some reason (full moon?) my reliable partner and I were both having some "head-case" issues. You don't have to hang at the "hanging belay"; there's a small but flat ledge for a good stance if you extend the anchor down a bit.

great
I ran the last two pitches together to avoid the hanging belay. 60M rope is plenty
