A couple more. Romano following p1 (5.8/5.9 R/X) of his route White Rose and leading p2 5.11. Romano's routes are simply amazing, they are as high quality as they are bold!

The last pic was taken Spring of 2010, and yes he still climbs these routes in a 1 inch tubular swami! Post up your pics of Millbrook if you got 'em.

Sorry, but I am really stupid when it comes to computers. The Gunks is not the only place where Rich has done quality 1st ascents.
Check out "Ambush Peak", in the Wind Rivers, under google. Look at the photo taken by Fred Hansellman on his website. Rich and Chuck put in a route on the main face of Ambush, which goes up just right of the huge overhangs. They didn't even right it up! It's 5.10 or harder-close to 2000 feet of climbing.
Rgold, I know you have climbed on Ambush. Perhaps you could post a photo of the face. A good picture can be found on the second page of Google - " photo taken from Hailey Pass". I'm to stupid to know how to post the link here.

In your photo of Rich on SUDDEN IMPACT, can you see Rich Gottlieb's route WHITE KNUCKLES in the background?
P.S. Great photo. I didn't notice the belayer in shadow in the green shirt until I enlarged it.
