Casa Emilio

One of the better 5.4s in the Gunks; a long approach and undistinguished first pitch keep the crowds away.This climb is at the far end of the Trapps, almost at the S-turn in the carriage road, about a 25-min. walk from the Uberfall.Look for a buttress just to the right of the broken area that marks Roger's Escape Hatch. Scramble up to the right of this buttress (no trail here!) and then up behind it. Ledges lead to the top of this buttress, the start of the route.P1: Climb easily up somewhat vegetated slabs aiming up and right for a huge tree, with a bolted belay/rap station. 5.0, 50'.P2: Climb straight up clean, aesthetic white rock to the top and another bolted belay/rap station. 5.4, 100'.Descent: top of both P1 and P2 have bolted anchors.

Standard Gunks rack.
