You did that the same way I’ve seen you do Rhododendron. Straight up the crack instead of pulling a layback over the overhang. Nicely done!

Funny that people took his name off that route and all the others he was a part of. I looked up his history and then I was not surprised but that desire. You made that route look hard, lol.

That route is hard. You are weak

[@thecragcouple8992]

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who knows this route imply that it’s easy.

Nice job brother! 5.6 ain't no joke at the Gunks. I recommend working on/learning hand jam techniques. Could prove to be highly valuable on these climbs! nice work.

The crack looks nicer than it is. I love jamming but when I got up there I discovered the crack is very blown out in the back. doesn't accept cams too well and it just opens up wide in the back. Not the best for jamming, which made the crux slightly harder than expected. Most of the holds are massive jugs and I found doing the layback method worked much better.

Gotcha. Well I appreciate the beta then man. Thanks for the footage. Heading down there 3rd weekend of May. Looking forward to it! Maybe I'll get on this climb. Thanks brother @@CloveHitchCory
