Description:
Toward the south end of the cliff. This is the oldest climb in the gunks, with a first ascent in 1935. Look for a large, gray, lichen covered right facing corner under the "pie in the sky " feature at the top of the cliff. Climb P1 (5.5 most of the way, with a 5.7 move into the v slot), to a broken ledge with a ton a loose rock, move left then transition into the v slot. Move up V slot and at the top make an airy traverse right and up to a small ledge to belay. P2 is up a couple of squeeze chimneys with decent gear. Make your way to the top of the cliff, following least path of resistance. Very dirty P2.Descent Options:
none, you are at top of the cliff

worth doing once
Dirty, lichen filled corner leads to a fun, airy traverse up more lichen. P2 is a totally mess; dirty and many bushes to climb around. GT ledge is pretty bad at the base of this climb.
