Oh wow, this begs the question: How many HNers are climbers? I'd love to organize a climbing trip somewhere! I'm in MD but just came back from Seneca Rocks and planning a trip to NRG or RRG this fall. I was literally reading that post earlier today from another climbing blog I read.
edit: or the Gunks if someone else leads. I don't think I'm comfortable yet at the sharp end of the rope.
- arfrank 17y agoI too am from MD and a climber too. It would be interesting to get a poll going to see how many people here are interested in climbing. Also figure I might as well inform you of an organization for local climbers in DC area one of my friends has started: http://www.dcmetroclimbing.com/ http://www.dcmetroclimbing.com/
- yan 17y agoI climb at Earth Treks Columbia twice a week. I have been wanting to organize a climbing trip for HN folks to introduce people who are new and meet people who already climb, and now that I know there are at least some of us @ HN, this is more and more a possibility. edit: thanks for the link!
- arfrank 17y agoCool. Let me know if anything gets organized. My friends and I frequent ET, but I mainly goto the Rockville one. I also work part-time at a very small climbing in Rockville (2 out of the 4 hrs its open a week).
- crux_ 17y agoColorado here, or I'd offer to lead. ;) (One weakness of being self-employed is that when someone wants to take the day off and go climbing with me, I have very few reasons to say 'no.')
- iloveyouocean 17y agoI live in Lexington, Ky and am in the RRG very frequently. My girlfriends father owns the land behind Miguels. I would definitely like to meet up if/when you guys come down.
- yan 17y agoI'd love to start a mailing list of hn climbers. Send off an email every time you visit a popular crag. I'd be willing to start one, just need everyone's emails.
- TrevorJ 17y agoI've got a harness and some gear, but I have yet to find the time to begin learning how to safely use it, so I haven't gone out yet.
- bmj 17y agoI'm a long-time climber from Pittsburgh. I've spent too many weekends to count at the NRG.
- uuilly 17y agoI'm an SF climber. Mainly haunt Planet Granite in the presidio. Also do w/e's in Bishop and Yosemite.
- yish 17y agoI also climb in SF (Mission Cliffs) and try to go outdoors but not enough. Usually local though, Diablo, Mickey's Beach, Castle Rock, etc
- krisneuharth 17y agoI have been climbing for years all over Southern California, Mammoth, Bishop, Red Rocks. I would be down for a HN trip in CA or nearby.
