Description:
Start left of a huge dihedral, climb an easy face to a decent belay ledge. Second pitch is very fun and steep 5.5 to a huge ledge under the obvious roof. The third pitch pulls the large(for 5.6!) roof and continues past another bulge to the top. Very classic, and the third pitch is often combined with Strictly From Nowhere for a stouter outing.

Onsight ascent by:
Strickleys to 3rd pitch of shockleys
Loved Strickleys, not sure why all the hype on the overhanging moves on shockleys. it was fun and exposed made you sure your pro was good, but i guess i'm in the minority in not considering this one of the best 5.6's at the gunks. I thought the pull through on the two ceilings was enough for a 5.7 rating.

3rd Time's a Charm
Fell once on the crux before I figured it out. Not pretty, but I got it. Pretty nice rock top to bottom on this route.

Second ascent by:
Classic
2nd pitch ceiling is classic, but don't think you're over yet. Definitely belay the second from just under the top roof, otherwise you can't see or hear them pull the famous ceiling.

good stuff
the top of pitch #3 is good stuff. Don't care much for the first two pitches.
