Keith + Steve did a fantastic climbing trip to the Gunks for 4 days - We planned to climb and ride our road bikes . Day one we climbed almost all day then got a quick thunder shower. So off to town to hit the local climbing shop ( Rock + Snow )
http://www.rocksnow.com/ after spending all my hard earned cash on new gear we went to set up camp. . Day two we climbed most of the day then did a 31 mile road ride - with 3000' of climbing it HURT me BAD . Day three we climbed again most of the day + Keith went + re-did the same loop . I did not and opted to ride 1/2 mile to a brook and take a bath +Relax. The views of the catskills from this ride were fantastic. Use you imagination - forgot camara both days. Day 4 we climbed till we dropped and hit the highway home two big backups made it a long ride home. Good weekend How was VEGAS?

Absurdland 5.9** - My kick A$$ lead of the trip - Whaaa Hoooo. Yes it was hard + Scary . Thanks for the BELAY - Keith !!
After you go up you must go down to start all over again. Most of the Pic's are going up. This is a free hanging rappel down for over 100' of air very COOL !
We had 4 fantastic days like this not bad for New York in the summer .
Grease Gun Groove - Great route -
Big Stretch for that foot hold - Yes I could have found a easier way but it was fun with camera just below.
Got GEAR !
For living out of the Eurovan for 4 days we ate meals like this every night . That's the best dirt bag climbers meal I have ever seen . Not bad for a bikers meal either ..
Base camp for 4 days - Not fancy but it worked ...........
