First time at the Gunks and I had to wake up and see the sunrise over the Hudson Valley. Makes the wall glow.

No, that's not a tropical scene...that's the water from the recent flooding gushing off the top of Ken's Crack at the Uberfall area of the Trapps.

The picture is fuzzy and a bit bright. Josh looks so happy now that he's seventy feet off deck. On the way up he didn't even freeze up once. Awesome first climb bro!

After she watched her nervous boyfriend we convinced her to try it. She cruised right through it! Goddamn! Can I have her Josh? I think Josh's package shrunk two sizes that day.

I am climbing the 2nd pitch of Andrew, a climb in the Gunks.

Like being born again.

Climbing at the Gunks in summer could be very sweaty experience...after the opening move it is just very mellow climbing from one horizontal to next...
