Red Point ascent by:
A delightful 5.5
I think this would be a great climb for a new 5.5 leader (who can deal with crack). The opening is easily protectable, sustained crack climbing, around the tree and then you get some very cool slab moves. Good gear on the slabs makes this a nice outing for a new leader. Fun.

A crack climb at the Gunks?
Kinda, not really, and way too short. Fun though.
