The start of The Winter 5.10d in the Gunks is a cryptic boulder problem with okay-ish protection before establishing into a thin dihedral. This right-facing corner supposedly takes good gear but call it my gumby brain or not I couldn't fit any of the wires I owned at all. Getting away with a marginal black totem you can stem up through the alleged crux although I found it much less hairy than the opening boulder moves. Pitch 2 boils down to a heady roof pull reminiscent of Six-Foot Man Roof at Farley Ledges (which goes at 5.11d...). The second pitch goes at 5.10b yet both felt equally hard to me but heck, what are grades in the Gunks anyways. Pitch 2 starts at: 13:20
yeah small offsets or RPs I believe are the common protection in that corner. Sorry about the droning sound... will have to pay more attention to that in the future
@@arduouspaths nah, i think your really good especially in this video ua-cam.com/video/lZnXlSR7Bf4/v-deo.html you show us that you have enough endurance for a climb like this. Don't be to hhard to yourself :)
@@arduouspaths nah, i think that your actually very good especially in this video ua-cam.com/video/lZnXlSR7Bf4/v-deo.html you show us that you are in a very good shape and that you can handle these hard kind of situations. Don't be too hard to yourself :)

So dope props for doing it one pitch, have to get on this one
it was recommended to me to do that haha. But that recommendation was also given to me by a guy who linked Scary Area p1+2......... haha hmmmm
i like it people climbing when i wanna go to sleep
10 hr ASMR climbing vids soon 😁
jeez the beginning looked so hard
tricky tricky
The protection looks really cryptic on that first pitch. Does small offset nuts work well in Gunks stone? The leaf blowers in the background…😅
