TBT Checking grades in PA back in March 2004

Trip to Hunters and Big Rocks to check out some rumored hard problems...

newenglandbouldering.com/ne…-

Some cool problems!

It's too bad there's so much spray paint. Makes Lincoln Woods look like a wilderness area...

It's too bad they "didn't hear of the guys, so we better go check there claims of big numbers."

Like people from PA are not strong, or something...

PA has some excellent world class bouldering, even without all that spray paint BS...
(Yep I said it, world class.. That should give something for people to talk about.) =)

Cor, I guess that was kind of summarizing things. There was lots of back and forth and dialogue that caused the doubt to come up, rather than just noone has heard of you so you can't climb that hard. There were also locals who doubted whether the problems had even been climbed.

Thanks Joe,

I just thought it was funny, so had to stir up some things...
Don't know the folks either, although I am originally from good ol pennsyltucky!

It is (was) like 6am where I am in Taipai, Taiwan . . . Laying in the hotel room waking up
to some MP.com fun! :)

If you enjoyed PA, did you make it over to Gretna, or Govoner Stables?
I think those places harbor some great problems on great stone!

Check out Chetroy.com
An old friend from there who has a site with some PA (and elsewhere) stuff.
Those guys are always looking/ doing some cool stuff!

Cheers,
C

I have not been to Gretna or Governor Stables but hope to at some point. Thanks.
