Gunks Climbing March 2007


We planned to climb a couple of routes on the Trapps, but managed to complete only one before dark: Madame Grunnebaum's Wulst, 5.6 (two pitches). Since it's hard to shoot photos while holding on to the rock, there won't be very many. At the end are a couple photos I took the next morning.
