In celebration of summer, now that summer's gone (credits to Leslie & Cowpoke, photographers):
"A 5.8 route for 5.10 leaders" quoth the guidebook. Maybe not, but it's fun. No Pigs at Echo.
Pine Tree Eliminate on Cathedral looks so easy 'til you're there, wishing for a hex.

The Gunks must have one of the best concentrations of classic, memorable 5.8s in the country.
Here's another view of the crux (Son of Easy O) in adam's pic above (David Lucander photo).

Just about any route rated 5.8 by Mark Powell in the mid-50's will keep your full attention.
