During my time in NYC, I spent dozens of weekends in the Gunks and climbed many of the classic routes.  All of the climbs I've done are shown in the table below, and many of these I've done more than once.  Those which are considered ultra-classics are indicated with (***).  Feel free to contact me with questions about specific routes or climbing in the Gunks in general.  I will continue to update this table and hope to add some more photos sometime soon.
