Gunks TR Lite

Postby *Chris* » Tue May 26, 2009 8:11 am

Back from the Gunks. Great crag. Exposed lines and solid climbing for the grades. Here's what we (Burley and I) did:

Roseland :D -to-Gelsa link
Horseman
Laurel
Rhodadendron
Ken's Crack
Frog's Head
High Exposure :shock:
Bonnie's Roof 8)

I know that list seems short but it felt like a lot at the time!

Here's a few pics:

Not a bad list. Only get one day of climbing in? :wink:
Great pics. Except the one of the butt with the butt. He's a super safe and solid climber yet puffs away his life. :) Hi E is a bit exposed huh? Denise had an "O" moment on it. Imagine doing that in the 1930's with their equipment and not knowing what was to come.
Safety third!!!

Ha Ha... what can I say ;) It isn't an everyday thing, but yes I do it on occasion.

We got about 2.5 days in. Heat/Sun was a killer for us. Everyone did great and had a wicked trip.

Burley... Want me to make you a sandwich? LOL. Sheesh. Rosie is a nice girl and all...but man... if she doesn't feed you.....

High E was fun. I didn't find it scary, but just fun. Bonnies roof however.... I didn't even get on it. LOL. In a crying fit of 4 months pregnant and getting scared looking up at the damn thing.... I chose to sit on the ground. Yeah. I'm tough.

Nice tick list,

Looking at the picture of Henni on High E, looks muggy as hell.

I miss the gunks.

Ah, the famous Gunks road trip.

Here's a description of a road trip from same time of year, but eight years ago (before I was uber-ripped, right Martha?):

http://www.tradgirl.com/areas/ny/gunks/olddudes.shtml
A monk asked Quiglin Shiqian, "What is a person who has realized the Way?"
Quiglin said, "Embracing the ice and snow, head and eyebrows held high."

You might find it amusing to know that it has since become well-solidified and can now be slung as natural (I suppose semi-natural) pro.

Ah, tradgirl. I'm sure I must have read that TR before, back when I was getting really serious about climbing I'm sure I digested the entire site.

Isn't that just like Fred, to insert the rolling eyes on Martha's post, after the fact!
