The guide book sais : A very Popular route with a spectacular final Pitch ...

Pitch #3 Make the airy traverse right to the flake/crack and follow it ( CRUX) to the Jugs under the big overhang, escape right uo to a belay.

CCK - I have been wanting to lead this route for years . Well I did it today. Exposure you bet - The most Photogenic Route @ the Gunks for sure - Great fall weather the best - the trees were about a week past peak but still nice scenery.

Gary,

Don took this Pic Sunday we always carry these small camera on climbing trips . I took Pic's of Don on this route last Fall and My Friend Jonathan this year . So I finally got on the route myself on the sharp end of the rope so I could get Pictures of me. I these are my favorite all time pictures rock climbing. A poster of this would be way cool....
