4 out of 5 stars fav of the day

A really cool feature below the rap station at the first belay. After that I went straight up and left slightly to top this one out at a small tree. Makes the finish more exciting over a nice exposed bulge. P3? Might have gone too far left.. Was bush whacking through moss and trees.. Scantily protected with a couple #4 stoppers and a small tcu.

4 out of 5 stars Great Single Pitch thru Crux

Used a 60m to link first two pitches, then thru crux, to near-hanging belay at pine tree/rap anchors. Enjoyable, exposed, and solid-pro. Would do the Strictly to Shockley's Ceiling linkup the next time.

4 out of 5 stars fun.

My first lead at the Gunks. Linked together p.1 and P.2, did not do the 5.4 3rd pitch.

4 out of 5 stars Nice happy climb

I think the Oscar link up is much nicer than the regular route.
