First trip ticklist
Since we discussed possible routes at the Gunks, and the weather is getting temptingly warm, here's a list of potential targets. I'm thinking 5.6-5.8 range to get the season going; some of these I've led (Frog's Head, Madame G's), some of them I've followed (Shockley's), and some are longtime targets (the money 3rd pitch of High E, CCK). There's some good 4s and 5s for warmups too, and for the budding trad leaders, we can hit up some of the single pitch routes...
5.6
- Frog's Head
- High Exposure
- Madame Grunnebaum's Wulst
- Moonlight
5.7
- Classic
- Limelight
- Yellow Ridge
5.8
- Airy Aria
- CCK
High Exposure (5.6)
Madame G's (5.6)
Shockley's Ceiling (5.6)
Limelight (5.7)
CCK (5.8)

Some PG-13 action to keep things spicy!
wait... what's pg-13? i'm sensitive about the runouts...
I call Limelight! Its mine.
Uh-uh. Rock paper scissors...
Hopefully, we can hit it enough to swing leads and switch around. My biggest problem with the Gunks, though, is being able to get on the climb you want to do. Probably because I've tended to go on nice sunny weekend days.
CCK. The PG-13 appears to come from one move out from under and overhang.
Yah, just saw that. Looks like it's a little hard to protect at the start of the second pitch, getting past a small overhang.
Maybe it's time to check the gearlist, and see if I want to double up on anything. EMS has a 25% off sale on a single full-priced item.
