Gunks partner any day 10th -17th August

Weird request but would anyone be willing to climb in a 3 with me and my wife while I'm over from the UK as we don't know the Gunks and probably won't have a rope available or if you have a spare rope be willing to lend it to us and just point us in the direction of the good routes?

Not sure on the USA grades but I generally lead VS with the odd HVS outside in the UK and my wife is normally happy seconding these climbs so I guess based on this chart we would be looking to climb 5.6-5.9.

However it's not an exact science, apparently High Exposure at the gunks is about HVS 5b in English which would make it harder than 5.6.

Last summer I got ill when we were supposed to be going to the Gunks, so really psyched to climb there this time.

Cheers

Dan

High Exposure is probably a UK Severe. There is, however a Directissima of High Exposure that is perhaps HVS 5a.

Thank you to everyone who sent me an email, we're sorted for now but I really appreciate all your offers.
