<p>Just 300 yards from where I was about to talk Koots out of going for the lead sits the prominent High Exposure buttress. In 1941, Gunks pioneers Hans Kraus and Fritz Weissner quested up into the imposing and foreboding tiered roof systems that cap the buttress, hoping to find a reasonable passage. In doing so, they established the world famous High Exposure (5.6). </p>

<p>Though Gunks climbing officially began six years earlier, in 1935, with Fritz’s establishment of Old Route (5.5) on the turreted cliffs of Millbrook, the establishment of High E, as it’s known, cemented the two pioneers and their playground with a reputation for boldness. Even today, sitting under the steep final pitch, modern climbers marvel at how something so “out there” can hold a relatively moderate grade.</p>

<p>In the years following, scores of impressive lines were established. The Gunks quickly became a hub for international visitors, new routes and groundbreaking ideas (such as the advent of “clean climbing”, which protected the rock from piton scars). Decades later, by the late 1980s, activity had slowed dramatically as the canvas for new routes began to dry up. Climbers started visiting newer areas like the New River Gorge and the Red River Gorge, and the Gunks receded into a museum of treasured old routes.</p>

<h3>Vikki Weldon samples the exciting Erect Direction (5.10c), one of the Gunks’ best. In the 80s, local climber Don Perry attempted a free solo. He made it through the crab crawl crux only to balk at the massive roofs guarding the summit. Hollering until he was likely hoarse, someone finally dropped him a rope and he made it off safely. Shortly thereafter he found Jesus and can be seen to this day climbing in Lycra and passing out cards warning about the dangers of fluoride in drinking water.</h3>

<p>For those who stuck around, the only new terrain available was on the scores of boulders in the talus fields below the cliffs. As the year 2000 loomed, bouldering activity took off like a rocket. In fact, bouldering is what originally drew me to the area, and as a young climber I was eager to leave my mark. Getting swept up in the energy of the time, my friends and I began pushing the limits on harder and higher boulder problems. Entire areas were established, like the Waterworks, and enough classics were established to fill several guidebooks.</p>
