Place is sick. Unfortunately the warm-up at this spot is 11a and I'm not a strong climber but the good news is that the 11a warm-up is an awesome route and close enough that I should be able to get back to it and try to send it at some point.
sorry for losing track, are you not in nyc area anymore?
in my hometown in southeast PA for the spring and summer and an old, good friend of mine and I both independently got into sport climbing while I was away, been great reconnecting with him and planning trips together even if the weather hasn't been cooperating
I'm thinking about going to the new river gorge to help with their trail maintenance event in may to meet people and learn more about the crag, hopefully get some climbing in too

That all sounds awesome! Climbing is the best!
Leaving for Moab tonight. Stoked for some sandstone even if California granite has turned me soft. Going to get so pumped! Haven't been on a rope for almost 6 months!
did some traversing today just to get back in the swing of things after not climbing for a few months because i messed my shoulder up, and i am hyped. probably still gonna get PT for my shoulder whenever i get my health insurance set up at my job.
saw a dude doing, like, solo aid trad climbing with the loops that you put your feet in. haven't seen anyone do that at that spot before.

ugh. Supposed to drive to the New tomorrow but I have to be back on Friday and thunderstorms are forecast for Thursday. I don't think I can justify an 8-hour drive for one day at the crag
Bought this at the mall I'm gonna wear this at the mall.
Yes, everything is right in the climbing world again!!!! Caldwell and Honnold absolutely smashing Gobright's Nose record. Prediction: with Reel Rock there in the Valley and a real chance for Honnold to put Gobright away for good, I bet they go for a few more laps in the next couple weeks and go sub 2 hours! Really enjoying this Honnold - Gobright rivalry. We need more real feuds in climbing that are not just privileged white guys being jerks (re Joe Kinder).
Went to the NRG and Miguel's for the first time, hoooo boy that was fun steepest climbing and biggest whips I've done outside gotta work on that ARC training though cause I get pumped way too quick
What is everyones local crag? I'm in PA and the local spots aren't exactly going to be on the cover of a magazine but I'm happy they're in the arew. Better than nothing
anybody here climb at birdsboro in PA? it's slowly becoming my go to spot cause it's the closest sport crag around me. It's an old quarry and super chossy with lots of glue on olds and the rock is glossy as all hell, but there's some fun stuff. very chill environment and locals too. surprisingly climbable in the summer when you've got shade
