Glad I didn't lead it!

P1

(only the second pitch which I think is 5.4) Nice fist size crack to follow up. Enjoyable climb. Would love to do the second pitch too!!

Another bold lead by Trevor. A nice climb on second and probably not too hard a lead with enough small pro

Deserving of the name. Crux well-protected by pin.

I have no idea what possesed me to lead this, as my previous hardest lead had been Frog's Head (5.5+/5.6-). But I was feeling good and wanted to push my lead head (and I knew the climb was still well within my abilities), so I went for it. It's an awesome, awesome line. Only did P1 and skipped the (5.4) second pitch. The crux is at the start, and ranges from G to PG-13 depending on how much you trust fixed pins. The first half is protected by a small wire (#1 Rock) and a pin; the second only by a pin. I figure the pin would probably have held since a fall on it would be short, but I certainly wouldn't call it bomber, so I'd say the Gray Dick's PG rating is accurate. It's G if you trust the pins. The rest of the route is sustained but slightly easier, well protected (small runout below the roof), and very aesthetic and fun climbing.

glad i didn't back off

Nice First 7 lead for me in the Gunks. Chip Followed. Very thin and facey.

(Peter, Sharon & Cilka)

Still fell on the first try at first move.

balance through the start and pull the roof at the end!

guided

great climb, beutifull moves. although I think the roof on jackie is harder and more interesting

sweet combination of problems
