As a member of the climbing community I feel my interests as a climber are not being addressed by the current GCC board. Chris Moratz and crew have done a poor job at best and it's time for a new era of change. I call on my fellow climbers to step up to the plate and turn the GCC in a new direction that will foster access while maintaining a professional face in the New Paltz community. All suggestions welcome.

I suppose you nominate yourself?

So I guess your happy with the current state of affairs. so why bother posting?

Why not just go to the next meeting and provide input, rather than call for mutiny? The meetings are open to anyone, and there may very well be some projects your help with would be appreciated.

Do YOU want to get involved? That's the way to do it!

edit: This is Terrie from before. My username got lost in the site redo, somehow.

What's up happiegirl,

Not calling for mutiny just new elections, and then I would enjoy working with a new group. In my opinion this group must go, bring in some new folks, and try again.

Doing Something!!!

other than just posting and complaining?

Actually getting involved? What a concept...

Come'on here big Jgreene... be a man, show up to a meeting in person, state your case eye ball to eye ball

I dare you...

JGreene - From the GCC web page:

"The Gunks Climbers Coalition, established in the fall of 2002, is an advocacy group dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable opportunities for responsible climbing along the Shawangunk Ridge and surrounding areas."

But it seems to me that if you do not like this organization, then you might start your own rather than complaining about others who's are working as they see fit. After all they are working toward what you are what you want -just not exactly as you would like.

mworking,

I see what your saying. I was under the impression that the GCC was an elected body that has scheduled elections. Perhaps I'm wrong, but it would be easier to use some of the info and contacts and ideas that are currently available instead of starting fresh. As I said before I just think it's tame to change it up a bit.

Do the right thing... here's their email address

GCC@gunksclimbers.org

contact them, actually talk to real people who are really in front of you listening to what you are saying

You'll be suprised...

Beer is on me, if Chris says you showed up... or even made a real attempt to contact them, deal?
