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!

Great climb
Second 5.6 at the Gunks (first pitch of Limelight was the first). Awesome, though confusing in some spots because of all the chalk. Options are always good, I guess.

My favorite so far!
My favorite climb. Even the rappell route rocks. Lots of fun stuff. A Gunks must do.

got lost
don't miss the exit onto face; nothing scary but ends on crappy 5.4 climbing to the top

Led all three pitches
Really enjoyed it, despite terrible rope drag issues on P3.
