Ascents of Dennis

Led 2nd pitch. Climbing with Andrew Maver from Mountain Skills.

Climbing with Jaron from Alpine Endeavors.

Good first climb for The Gunks. Tricky start otherwise a fun climb.

Relatively easy after especially after the start roof/bulge and glassy second. But struggled for pro on Trevor's rack and ran all well out in places

2nd pitch is interesting too.

Apparently Dick Williams and I have a little bit different idea of what constitutes a "G" rating. I figure a G rated climb should have good pro frequently the whole way, not just at the crux. So I was a bit freaked on a couple easier sections with pro a ways beneath me. But, anyway, it was a good climb, led both pitches clean, and a good experience for this new leader for sure. Still a recommended climb.

Pretty good, bit of a slab in the middle of the first pitch.

My favorite Gunks lead to date!

P2 went rt at bulge rather than left.

Cool easy roof moves
