Always a nice route after having been away from the Gunks for a while. Did the 2nd Pitch of Ribs and the 3rd pitch of Arch. Very nice.

5 out of 5 stars great climbing!!!

i led this route at Dana's recommendation, and he seconded.
i absolutely loved the climb. nice sustained climbing throughout with some balancey face moves and a nice arete. i didnt have a problem placing good gear throughout the climb. definitely would give this climb more than the one star williams give it. Really nice!!
