Some interesting moves.

 Start up steeper main face of two stacked boulders and stand on their top. Continue up to finish on right side of notch at top of 2.5-ft deep right-facing corner that trends overhanging right-ward.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

 . . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Some interesting moves.

 Start up along chimney in left side of two stacked boulders, then up 2.5-ft deep right-facing corner. Before that corner trends right-ward, exit Left onto face and straight to top, finishing about 14 ft right from top vertical crack.

Interesting moves. . . . Currently the lower half is partly shared with the route to left. But if the Project Start below works, then would have a more independent line.

 Start (same as route to left) 10 ft left of two stacked boulders, a bit left from under the arete which forms right edge of upper face. . . . (? Project: Start up face 18 ft left of two stacked boulders, then cross over route to left ?).

 Continue straight up narrow face between crack on left and right-facing corner on right (not using the corner for holds) to reach 2-3-ft wide left-diagonal crack. Straight over that and up face above (here can use right-facing corner for a key hold). Trend slightly left, up across right-diagonal crack, and finish 6-8 ft right from top vertical crack.

Sustained interesting moves. On the Right Wall of this sector. Looks like it ought to be easier. Perhaps a bit reachy.

 Start up obvious cracks about 6-8 ft left of gully. Higher up trend left to finish by left side of high bulge.

Sustained thoughtful moves. On the Right Wall of this sector.  If only this were longer.

 Start up zig-zag diagonal cracks about 8 ft right of stacked blocks . (Perhaps helps to start closer to the stacked blocks). Up the cracks and finish at right end of top small roof / overhang.

Sustained thoughtful outdoor moves -- requires precise foot placement and body position for every sequence. . . (Likely much more difficult for climbers with normal reach who are much less tall than 5ft 7inch).

 Start in "dividing" gully to right by squirming about five feet until hands reach down-pointing prong and right foot is on positive hold. Next horizontal left onto face. . . Variation: Instead start in between main crack and right gully and to roughly straight up -- but difficult to succeed in this without grabbing big hold up left which is on the next route to the left of this one.

 Finish roughly straight up to right side of 18-inch slanting downward-right-facing inside corner / bulge.

Interesting moves in a variety of situations.

 The left ridge goes up to left-pointing nose on left side of bulge at top of cliff. Start up on Right side of 1-ft thick flake on Left side of ridge. Then diagonal Right up obvious crack past underneath high left-pointing nose, almost to its top. Next traverse Left 6-8 ft underneath high left-pointing nose. Finish up straight over left-pointing nose.

Interesting moves.

 Start up initial almost-vertical 9-ft section of the obvious crack, then partway diagonal Right up crack. But instead of continuing to the top right end at the wider deeper left-diagonal crack, leave the crack and head directly up to bulge on left side of top vertical crack (avoid the alcove junction).  . . . (Variation: Continue to the top right end of crack to reach the deeper left-diagonal crack (5.7) and join the next route to the right).

 Finish up left side of top vertical crack.

Nice moves all the way. Nice as a trad Lead.

 Find your way up about 25 ft to the 2-3-ft deep Left-trending diagonal crack. Next Left up this to alcove junction, then straight to the top vertical crack, perhaps finishing along R side of that top crack.

Sustained interesting moves. On the Right Wall of this sector. Too bad it's not longer -- and that it's start is not (yet) more independent from other routes.

 Start up right side of stacked blocks onto top. Next hands work up Right-trending crack with feet always to right of crack. . . Variation: Instead start up the next route to the right, then diagonal left to reach this Right-trending crack. . . (? Project: Find a start which does not visit the top of stacked blocks and stays left of next climb to right ?)

 After 8-12 feet right-ward up crack, diagonal Left to reach another Right-trending crack. Finish through small roof / overhang (2nd crux).

Steep rock with interesting features. Routes mainly 45-55 ft, facing mainly SW.

 Cool weather days nice in afternoon due to favorable exposure. Much is shaded by mature trees, so not as hot as might expect on hot afternoons.

 Top-roping: Reaching top of cliff to set up anchors is likely easiest up around SE side - (? but might work shorter around NW side ?).

 Name: Bonnie Prudden was the most popularly famous serious climber in America ever (at least until 2010). First Ascent in the 1950s of "Bonnie's Roof" the great classic Gunks route, and other FAs. Devastating in every way: athletic, smart, charming, pretty -- skier, dancer. And a self-driven climber from childhood: When her parents told her to stay up in her room, she would just climb out the window. Later climbed classic mountain routes in Switzerland and Italy. In 1954 built one of the first public artificial climbing walls in USA.

 Working together with Hans Krauss (the FA leader of "High Exposure" the other great classic Gunks route), discovered a new approach for children's health and strength, and she was named to the first US President's Council on Physical Fitness. 1957 cover photo on famous national magazine, sponsorship of popular healthy breakfast cereal, then her own television show. Which left no time for climbing. Then she organized and promoted a drug-free approach to managing pain and focused on that. Two of her rather helpful devices are the BoDo and the Crook -- simpler than competing devices, but perhaps more effective for climbers.

warning: Loose rock is still a concern in this sector. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber or underneath a leader setting up top anchor.
