Just curious, why is the PA gathering never in PA? I think its great to have one and I know the Gunk's is a great place but would'nt a roundup of PA climbers at a Pa crag be fun? ~Rob

I will not be able to attend this year, as I will be at a wedding (not mine) that weekend. Perhaps someone else will step up and offer to set up ropes at Peterskill for those climbers attending who might not be able to lead...? T

Gail, Thanks for putting this together. Ah, cooler weather, nice folks, and good climbing await. I've been looking forward to this. I should be able to offer a ride to 2~4 people, leaving from Philly, and I'm looking for climbing partners. I'm happy to lead to 5.7+, or follow on somewhat harder stuff. Contact me privately for details about transportation or partnering. Mark

I'm in. I'll be camping again... hoping for less rain this year. Just starting with trad, so I'm looking for a few people who want to do some mock trad leads just down the road at Peterskill. Anyone?

I (Doug) plan on attending, but will be camping with Agnes at the MUA - hope there is no rain since the hostel is full. Any decision on what dinner will consist of?

In the past we have enjoyed: Lasagna Chilli Spagetti accompanied by salad, bread, brownies. There is always a vegetarian option. I am not sure what we are having this year...I have to think about it.

In reply to: It's that time of year.. .The New Paltz Hostel is booked for Friday September 29th through Sunday, October 1st. (The hostel sleeps 16, so sign up early if you want a bed.) Pennsylvania climbers come meet other local PA climbers at our annual Gunks gathering. (Even non PA climbers are allowed...you coming darkside? Happiegrl?) :D Gee that's almost like an invitation. I feel special now, almost like I get a bus of my own :wink: Unfortunately Gail, I now live some 3000km away in Calgary. Alberta. For the record, I have enjoyed v1.0 thru 3.0 but I'm going to have to miss out in future. On a personal note, if you ever get out to the Canadian Rockies, I'd love to hear from you and show you around some of the crags round here. The Gunks will always be a great climbing area but too far for a weekend now. For anyone considering the gathering, do it. Hanging out at the hostel is great even if you are staying at the MUA. Even when we have been rained off, we have had some great times in previous years. It's earlier this year so no Halloween shenanigans but the rock should hopefully be a little warmer. Have fun, all.

I'll only be climbing for one day, unfortunately. I have a wedding to attend on Saturday but will be heading up afterwards and hopefully getting up there intime for dinner. Don't know where/when, but I think the people I will be meeting up with will be going out to dinner, probably Bacchus which would meet your criteria for brews. I have to check my cell, but Phil and Dan just in case PM me with your number, or you can stop by our campsite at the MUA (probably at the top of the hill) for some campfire and spray. :) BYObrews. Phil I have a biner of yours and Dan I have a water bottle (I know, I'm such a gear thief!) Others can feel free to stop by for some campfire action as well, if you're in the area of the MUA. K.

Hey Gail(and other Gunks Gatheringers) Sorry for my late "acceptance" but not having a car has made my travel plans very difficult this season(because I like to bring my dog along) But - I decided that enough is enough - and I am renting a car for this weekend. So - I will be there! Sortof, anyway.... I am arriving Friday evening probably about 7pm. I am going to camp at the MUA, because I'd like to have a fire and though the Gristmill is great....no fires allowed. Anyone wanting to stop by and visit - I will be on the side that is closer to 45/55, and will try to take that spot that is next to the parking area(by portapotty). If I don't get that one, I'll post which spot I am in on the bulletin board, I suppose. Gail - I don't have a partner yet for Saturday, so if you you have someone who needs matching up, you can consider me a possibility. I lead up to 5.5G, but prefer to have someone who I can swing leads with for at least one partner. Don't mind having a 3rd who is newish, but I don't want to be partnered solely with a newbie(it's a big responsibility, and I am not experienced enough to take a stranger on who is new. You can PM if you'd like more info). On Sat nite, I am heading into town for the gear exchange/sliedshow and on Sunday I will be doing trail work until 2 or 3pm. If someone wants to get a run or two in afterward, I am happy to do so. I will want to leave NP by 7pm Sunday nite. Thanks.

Looks like I'll be playing it by ear for Sunday now. If I was going up for the entire weekend, I'd definitely be there, but Sunday is looking extremely iffy weather-wise, and honestly I've pretty much had enough of rainy days in New Paltz this season. If the weather looks decent on Saturday night after the wedding I may still head up, otherwise I'm going to be a loser and bail. K.
