Yep, it's a handful! I landed a 172 today in wind apparently gusting 28 kts from around 060. And that's on a 02 Runway. It was pretty much a 172's cross wind limit! Not fun. Or should I say, great fun!
I performed my usual crab approach, left rudder to align with the runway, right aileron to dip the right wing and touch with the right wheel first, then left wheel, nosewheel and then increase into-wind aileron as speed decreases. Exciting stuff.
