Hey everyone,
I live in York PA and I was hoping to get a new group of climbers together. I know there is the PAC, but I am not huge on paying money to be part of a group or on the politics associated with that group. So I was just hoping to start getting together on a regular basis with other climbers from PA or MD or wherever. I have a cool bouldering wall in my Apt. and my other partner has a nice one in his house. I climb all over and am willing to put anyone up any time. I just wanna chill in a relaxed atmosphere with other climbers and whatnot. So, what do you think? We could plan road trips, watch vids, encourage each other, cause mischief. whatever :lol: .

y'all ought to consider making a PA CLIMBERS thread. Just use that for meeting up and what not. We're on page 163 of the MASS CLIMBERS thread. I've met at least 40 people as a result of the thread, and they're all solid citizens. Give it a shot. hehe - you could call it the KEYSTONE CLIMBERS thread.

Hey guys,
I go to school in Williamsport and do lots of bouldering just north of there, but I also travel to State College as well. I do lots of climbing in all of the areas around there as well and have been known to travel down to Mocanaqua to so some sport. I am definatly into traveling to meet up and do some climbing or showing people around any of my local crags.
I am also going to the Red River gorge for spring break and if anyone want so to join in the fun anyone is welcome to come along, the more the merrier.
Please get in touch with me if there is anything in the works.
Peace,
Ken

Ok, this is the last time this week I will refresh this post to the homepage. After this I will send out a welcome letter to all those that wanna be part of this secret organization. The only requirement is that you like climbing and relaxing and know how to share. You don't even have to be potty trained. Come on, I know the potty thing was holding some of you back :lol: .

Indiana, PA here.
I do most of my climbing in SWPA and WV.
Been climbing w/ charley, johnfromohio, and the niceporch and had a blast.
I've probably climbed w/ more of you and not even realized it.
My job inhibits me from doing tons of climbing, but I'm always up to tag along once in a while on the weekends.
I've been wanting to get out east for some time now.

Jkarns, I never said I had a beef with PAC. I certainly wasn't trying to start an argument. In fact that is the reason I am trying to get this group together. I just don't want something so organized with agendas that don't focus on just having fun. Please, don't take offense because I don't want to be a part of PAC. It was just what I said, I don't like to pay fees to be part of a group and I want something relaxed. Just, let it go man.

Rockshox19,
I would be interested.
One thing to consider however, dont write the PAC off all together, they are under new orginization and a new pres. I met the guy who is the pres. now and he seems like a real great guy who will make a lot of changes for the better in the orginazation. I agree there were a lot of issues in the beginning but consider this.
A climbing community is just that; a community. Individual orginizations count on pulling in new members and getting a good show of members and support. If a motivated individual like yourself were to join the PAC you could help to move the orginization into a progressive direction. The Pennsylvania Mountaineer Assoc. has severely dwindling numbers from what I am told and I am not sure how many members are in the PAC right now but why not all get together and decide to back one existing group so it does not fall apart completely. Orginizations can be as good as the members want to make them.
Those are just my thoughts however, please don't take any offense to my views.
Anyway if you are in the Wilkes-Barre, Scranton area and need to get out climbing we have some nice 100+ foot high sport areas that are super. PM me if you want to climb anytime. Im always looking to get out.
~Rob H.

Roclimb: Sounds great and no offense taken.
I will state this for the record: I am not upset with PAC, I don't dislike them or anyone in the organization nor do I truly have negative feelings for most people out there in this world. I am not trying to overthrow PAC or anything along those lines. I simply wanted to get a group of people together in the area and have some fun times. I am not president of this group, nor will there be any president or fees etc... It is just another way to get together with other climbers. I love the climbing community and have had mainly positive experiences with other climbers. If the PAC group wanted to chill with me and crash at my joint they would be more than welcome and that goes for any climber out there. I am glad they under new leadership and that people in the organization feel it is taking a turn for the better. I hope everyone has a great day :D :D :D , sincerely

This sounds good. I live in Pittsburgh. Acutally, I spend more time riding than climbing this time of year. Any mountain bikers out there who need a tour of the amazing local singletrack just let me know - we have lots of it around here. As far as climbing - I'll be more prepared for that once I clear up this nagging tendonitis. My schedule can be rough (2 kids/wife/house), but I still make room for fun.

ROCLIMB - Are any of the areas you speak of near Scranton/Wilkesbarre relatively close to Pottsville/Frackville? My mother lives up that way and breates me about not visiting, this way I could combine the two. Over christmas I saw a slew of boulders along the way, hopefully once the deep freeze hits I can go and check some of it out. but, i would love to have a place to do some sport without having to go all the way to the New every weekend.

Leaverbiner,
The stuff in Scranton /WB is about 45min to 1 hr north of Frackville; however,
Frackville and Pottsville both have some pretty good bouldering. The are huge boulders off the main drag that goes from the mall down to Pottsville. There is some stuff up to around V8 in those woods near there. "Playin Hookey" is one of them. There are lots and lots of easy V0 and moderate routes there also that are tons of fun. As for sport climbs I developed some interesting stuff in a quarry in Frackville not far from the mall.
Centrailia has some cool stuff also. Including "Eternal Flame" which is upwards of 5.13.
Hopefully we will get a warm day soon.
:D

To those of you that responded to rokshoxbkr19's call for a PA climbing club,
Due to health issues, Eric has asked me to take over duties (temporarily) until he returns to good health.
SO...what would you like to get out of a PA climbing club?

I'd be interested in getting to see some of the less well-known climbing areas that PA has to offer, specifically in my area of PA but also in other areas. As well as meeting other people across the state so we can network.

Anybody mention the LCC (Lancaster CLimbing Club) or do it just fall apart? I know they usually have a good turnout at adopt a crag day. Ask around you might be able to get a phone number, or else call Reading Rocks, i know they wereworking together pretty closely.

I know there is the PAC, but I am not huge on paying money to be part of a group or on the politics associated with that group. So I was just hoping to start getting together on a regular basis with other climbers from PA or MD or wherever. I have a cool bouldering wall in my Apt. and my other partner has a nice one in his house. I climb all over and am willing to put anyone up any time. I just wanna chill in a relaxed atmosphere with other climbers and whatnot. So, what do you think? We could plan road trips, watch vids, encourage each other, cause mischief. whatever :lol: .
so you wanna get alll the bennies, yet not give back???
In reply to: To those of you that responded to rokshoxbkr19's call for a PA climbing club, Due to health issues, Eric has asked me to take over duties (temporarily) until he returns to good health. SO...what would you like to get out of a PA climbing club? Gail
why don't you all put your efforts into the PAC???
or the access fund
i don't understand
many of you know that we all get together regularly to climb and have a very close knit group here in pa
but at some point you need to give it back
i love a party MORE than you, LOL!
the PAC needs your help!!

to all of you who think everyone here is against organizations like the pac.
not everyone here is trying to be a leach to the climbing community. just because someone doesn't want to donate to pac or the access fund does not mean they just want to reap the benefits. many of us would be willing to volunteer our time to hep clean up climbing areas and other similar things. but i know i personally cant afford to support the pac or access fund financially right now. however i would gladly volunteer my time to help out. the pac and access fund are both great organizations and someday ill donate. right now I am just looking for some people to climb with till i go into the air force in 5 months.
just remember some of us are broke college kids who can barley afford to eat :oops:

I'm in Lancaster. Put me on the list. I am fairly new to climbing and old in years. Is anyone else here over 40?

In reply to: I would to see this club go around to different crags and clean them up a bit. (Emmaus!)
I'm all for helping with a cleanup day at the crags in the northeast. It's a great idea and needs to be done.. When the weather gets a little better we should organize a cleanup at all the local crags... just show up to the one(s) near you and meet the climbers that are in your area...

Anne,
You know that I am all for the different Pa organazations. If I knew how to get involved with them I would. Right now money is tight. I wish I could send my share of money to the Pa organazations because I want to see Pa climbing at its best. Since I can not afford it I feel that I can at least voulenteer my time in cleaning up crags and things in that nature.
If I were to send my share of money to PAC or w/e other organazations, what would my money be used for? How much does it all cost? If someone could send me a link to the PAC site (if there is one), thatd be great.

How about getting some stickers if someone joins? Surely they only cost a buck or two.

Based on what I am reading in the thread, it sounds like people want more of a loose social organization than any type of philanthropic entity. A group of climbers who can call on each other for climbing partners, beta, weekend trips etc. With occasional voluntary efforts (joint with PAC perhaps) to clean up crags etc. Am I reading this correctly? If so, there are organizational logistics that might make contact between members much easier. I am leaving for Potrero Chico on Saturday for a week. I work on the "administrivia" upon my return.
Please let me know if I have interrpreted the intent/spirit correctly.
Gail

I think thats what everyone is looking for here.

Yes, PAC would be able to help us out alot.
In reply to: If so, there are organizational logistics that might make contact between members much easier.
How can I help out?

Have fun, be safe, and climb hard!

Gail, you hit it on the head. That is exactly why I started this thread. It seems there are others who want the same. Thanks again.

If you donate to the PAC what does your money go to? We have one primary expense and that is keeping the Governor Stable boulder field open to climbing. In addition, for your donation you will receive the privilege to climb there for the next year. And that's for less money than a month's membership at most climbing gyms. We are looking to expand our role in the climbing community, but you need to remember we a re new and rather small organization (for now)!
If you don't want to simply donate/purchase a membership, why not enter our annual competition at Governor Stable scheduled for March 27? It costs slightly more than the membership, and it includes access to the boulders for the year. Plus, you'll get hang out with a bunch of cool cats get loads of freebies and have a shot at all kinds of prizes. Believe me, we treat our competitors WAY better than most competitions do!
cheers
Josh

That's how I feel about it. I didn't think this would turn into an argument. Calling it a club may not be the best description, I just want a way to ask (and hear) about climbing trips.
