I know this sounds a bit crazy but I want to climb High Exposure or some other easy to moderate gunks classic in the blizzard today (Thursday). Any takers? cell 845-857-4762

Carpe Diem!

Are you having a blizzard? It's just raining here. Unexpectedly, rock climbing climbing in the snow is actually more pleasant than rock climbing in the rain.

No rain up at the cliffs, just non-stop heavy snow. There was over a foot when I left. I couldn't get a partner so my wife agreed to belay me on the first pitch and I rope soloed the rest. Super wild, no lines!

Cfrac, you rock dude. No doubt about it. While everyone else was hunkered down in their safe cozy little cubicles, you were anging your ass out there. If we ever climb together, I'm bringing the beer, or the Scotch, depending on the season of course.
