Please say it ain't so... I thought they figured a way to perma block you, but I can tell by the quoted dribble your back.

You suck. Eldo sucks. Gunks suck. Boulder sucks.

Honestly, maybe I haven't in eldo enough, or maybe I'm a total chicken, but I don't think it's all that great. Is it the scary gear that makes it great? The scary rock? Or is it the fact that it's in boulder county? IDK and IDK shit about the gunks except New Paltz is AWESOME! And the North East in general is a nice place with good people.

I enjoy the granite of LCC and the High Sierra to eldo any time.

But 2 Elanor's don't make a right. I'll take care of it.

Couple issues to add/aggravate the situation:

Short climbs

Cracks don't go the right way

Bitch Please! No Contest, who doesn't find short routes with horizontal cracks to be far superior to any alternatives out there?

That's because it was the troll. No worries. It is locked/deleted again. Just quit feeding it.

Having climbed both of these places I can say that NC in general is way better.

PS. Don't forget about naked people climbing The Dangler too. It seems to be a pretty strong tradition at the Gunks

The Gunks suck and are filled with too many downstate "climbers" and and New Jersey-ites anyway. Stay the hell away. Everyone should go climb at Eldo and Eldo only because it's clearly the best climbing crag in the country.

Both places suck for one reason: the egos are unreal. Give me a pristine mountain with no humans any day over either.

You could tell it was ellenor when she corrected the OP's spelling of her in name in her response... he said Ellanor she corrected with ellenor

I haven't been to either and I don't really care. ^This is why^. I can't wait to go back to the Organ Mountains.
