if he froze solid at the belay he could have gotten THAT kind of board! Smikey your spelling is priceless.

yah know I went to camp up near poko for 6 years and never climbed there....Ive hiked it a few times but never climbed it. Plan on doing so this winter, anyone know of some nice 4-5's to lead?

uhm...
lot of mega classics at poko... get yourself the guidebook....

Sorry, Aya's wrong. Everything at Poke-O is short, broken up by ledges, easy, and no fun. and to make matters worse, the approach is long and difficult.

Don't forget the snow snakes waiting to pounce. A unique critter, that.

Oh that's right all the long megaclassic climbs are in the catskills, doh what was i thinking

Staying on topic is not half as fun as grouch-baiting... back to your trashcan!!1

So now I'm a small, miserbale, green fuzzy muppet who lives in a garbage can? Gee whiz my life is getting worse and worse all the time.

short climbs, long approach and snow snakes? dont sound like much fun.....thought the parking lot was right next to a face

That "parking lot" was the result of repeated huge avalanches. Amazing that you survived.
