Top Rope ascent by:

Very mediocre climb. Unless you've done every other climb on Moc wall, skip this one. If every other climb is taken, wait for one of them to open up. Quite dirty.

Ascent Note
Decent climb. Not awesome, but fun. The bottom felt way harder than 5.6+ to me, but that may have been in large part due to how slippery it was... naturally slick rock plus climbing shoe rubber...

Ascent Note
Fun route. I almost want to say it feel harder than 5.7, but that may just be because I don't get to do a whole lot of layback routes.

Onsight ascent by:
Ascent Note
Christa led the Finger Locks Or Cedar Box variation first pitch and the second pitch; I led the third. 'Bout as steep as a 5.2 could possibly be (I guesstimated 5.5 at the time, not knowing what I was on). Not a great climb, but not horrible. Quite a bit of loose stuff.

Ascent Note
Christa led, took her awhile to do the crux, a committing move around a small triangular roof. Dirt said later that Ursula is considered to be quite underrated. It was definitely a fun route though, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The Gunks is the only place I've been where I can climb stuff this far below my ability and still enjoy it as much as I did.

Ascent Note
Just did P1. Charlie led it drunk (he didn't realize he was still under the influence until he started to sober up later) and set a TR for us. He said everybody who comes to the Gunks should do this route, and I fully agree. Awesome. No falls, minimal beta, great fun. On lead, there would be a scary little runout with a committing move.

Ascent Note
Way, way fun route. I fell a couple times, but that was mainly due to trying to remove Charlie's pro from a strenuous position. I don't know if I would have sent it cleanly otherwise or not. Charlie was stoked to finally send this on lead (with a bikini clad belayer, no less), though pissed that he pumped off on the roof yet stuck the runout crux (above a very questionable green alien and a small stopper).

Ascent Note
Awesome, awesome route. I loved the second big move near the top, where you throw with the left for a big jug. We just TR'd this off the MF anchor. I fell several times on the deviously tricky lower crux, but I believe I completed the route with no beta. As with everything I've climbed thus far in the Gunks, I'd rate it at least a full grade harder, maybe even a bit more in this particular case. I don't know that I could pcik just one route as a favorite from this weekend, but this one is up there.

Ascent Note
Christa led P1 then we all followed up. Easy fun, good for learning to lead trad. I led P2 (which was a a freaking ledge walk, but without a lot of good pro) and set up a almost completely worthless anchor at the top. Christa and Dirt rapped off from P1 and Giz followed me up, where we took two raps down. Good time, and I enjoyed my second ever trad lead (first if you only count ones where I knew how to place pro correctly).

Ascent Note
Definitely a fun route. Maybe it's because I boulder a lot, but the "boulder crux" was definitely not the crux for me - just after you step right in the juggy section, there is a very thin vertical seam with two very small handholds, but at least the hold up above them is good. Definitely a recommended route, though for me at least, this was much harder than 5.10a.
