Trad Climbing on Bonnies Roof (1st pitch, 5.9) at The Gunks, NY

The common 1st Pitch of Bonnie's Roof. I believe a long enough rope (70m) will allow you to do both the first and second pitches in the same pitch.

Wow, full value 5.9! I love these videos! So much inspiration for the winter months.

Cool video! I'm a fan of all the videos you have for the gunks. I do have a question for you.. What is your normal rack for these trips? Because I haven't really found any detailed racks for these trips, and I do wanna get out there sometime in the relative future.

[@FirstPersonBeta]

+Jason Fleck Sorry I'm just getting back to you on this. I guess I missed the question. You rarely find the long cracks that are common out west on the East coast (with the exception of some areas in the dacks and white mountains). Meaning in most cases you'll use a large variety of gear on a single climb. That doesn't mean that each area doesn't have a tendancy to use up a narrow range of gear. I carry at least doubles of everything between BD .4 and #2. In my experience .4 to .5, or in the case of metolius from a Yellow #2 to Red #4 tend to get used the most. Hope that helps you out if you haven't already started gearing up!

[@rodrigoducati]

Do you by any chance have Bonnie’s roof direct on video?

[@FirstPersonBeta]

I don't believe so

[@lostlazy]

Was this an on-sight or flash ? You nailed the crux so fast !

[@FirstPersonBeta]

Thanks Man. I think with 2 or 3 exceptions, every video on this channel is an onsight. That may change soon (hopefully not but the odds are against me).

[@KeithRoberts]

This is at Chica Bonita at the red, right?

[@FirstPersonBeta]

Negative, this is in the Gunks, which is outside New Paltz, NY
