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!

Pauline led the route in a single pitch, and I followed. Climbed this route in my first year(fell near top) and hadn't been on it since. Nice route, and especially when done in the one long pitch.

Beautiful
Had so much fun doing it a few weeks ago, I had to do it again with another second on this beautiful Fall day. Leaves were in peak foliage.

Exposure
Exposure which beats High E. Stay left on the second pitch instead of going to the right. Incredible climbing. For the first pitch, the guidebook says to make an anchor above the big tree - just anchor at the tree/ledge then link the second and third pitch. Makes for a long, exposed, beautiful climb. Staying left makes it a bit harder - probably an 8 or 9.
