Amazing route!
Don't even think about it if you aren't totally solid on runout tuolumne slabs, and make sure you have your head together. Its definitely a notch above great pumpkin.
The rack is awesome: 3 quickdraws.

Don't usually get steep jugs on diabase like this, definitely worth doing.

What a line!
Its really only about 5.9 but I can see why it might seem like V1 mentally to some climbers. The height didnt bother me and its totally cruiser!

Hang Dog ascent by:
Gotta Get in Shape...
...and not pump out at the last move! Taken big falls from the top crux multiple times but its all air! I've one-hanged it and I just have to get serious now and red point this awesome route. Fun dynamic moves on incut crimps. For pro it takes a big blue camalot at the first horizontal, a green alien in the horizontal above what looks like a flake, and a red camalot in the horizontal below the crux. Thats all you need. Quickdraws on the camalots help a lot, as does a crashpad below the first dyno. Adding the sit start puts it at a good 12d maybe harder.

Nice steep face section.
The steep face crux is very entertaining but other than that the route is just decent. The roof at the top is height related but definitely not as hard as the crux.

Another awesome 5.8 at the Gunks.
A high quality climb, the first pitch has a lot of technical face and keeps your attention. Pitch 2 has a cool overhanging corner. Both pitches feel pretty long for some reason. The route is similar in style to son of easy o. I recommend it.

One of my favorite 8s at the Gunks
What a line! A very pleasant climb, it has a nice warm up pitch up a great dihedral and an airy finish. The crux overhang is just technical enough to be interesting and the steep moves are fun. Definitely some air under your heels at the top of this route. I recommend doing it in two pitches, if youre creative with the belay on top of P1 it can be well located and not bad at all. People complain about it too much, not every route has to have a two bolt anchor and a huge ledge!

Red Point ascent by:
Pumpy!!!
I dont think there is a single move harder than 5.8 on this route but for some reason the top of the initial crack and the traverse are way pumpy. Getting pro in at the crux is strenuous but the ledge below mandates it. Bomber no hands rest on the arete after the crux and then some very fun steep climbing above!
