Looking for a Gunks partner for this coming Saturday or Sunday. I have a full trad rack, and have a fair amount leading trad on west coast granite. I live in NYC, so I'll have to rent a car for the day. Haven't done a ton of climbing on Gunks rock, so I'd like to tick off a bunch of the easier climbs to start off the summer.

Cheers,
Kyle

Hey man, I am also looking for a partner. I am not totally sure I can until Thursday, but if you are still looking I am game. PM me. Do you have experience belaying a leader?

I am also looking for a partner on Sunday 6/15. I can bring my rack and my rope and I also offer a safe belay. I am comfortable leading some easier routes but will follow up to 5.10. Shoot me a message on here or send me a quick text if you want to climb Sunday! My # is (203) 727-3742.

I'm not opposed to the idea but if you and the OP have already worked something out then don't feel like you have to include me. Not trying to cramp anyone's style haha but I am definitely lookin to climb Sunday!

Hey guys! Sorry for the late response. Didn't get a email ping for these responses. I have to fly out sunday, so I'm going to do Saturday. Anyone interested? One other person is interested and coming, but the more the merrier as far as i'm concerned.

so you have a partner for saturday now? What are you planning on doing climbing wise?

Kyle Maxwell Dent · · Unknown Hometown · Joined Jul 2012 · Points: 25

Yeah. I'm not totally sure. I am up for whatever, just trying to get a feel for the rock and gear placements the first time. I'd like to knock out some of the easier classics, but that might not be possible depending on how many people are up there.

have you ever been to the gunks? What is the other persons experience level? and yours? So what time would you be there on Saturday and when can you stay till? If decide to come then it would be three people. You have a FB page? Just trying to get a feel for you. Thanks

I climbed in the Gunks last year one time. Did a couple of climbs, but nothing too serious. For the 4 months after that, I lived in Squamish, and climbed pretty much every day. Towards the end of the summer, I could could consistently lead 5.10b/c on trad. For multipitch, mostly did 10a's. Did the grand wall, rock on, and a couple other classic big wall multipitches there. I'm a little out of shape now, but I can still probably lead 5.9 pretty easily. My partner said they could trad lead up to 5.9. I got a pretty full rack. Doubles up to the camalot 3, and a pair of nuts. I think the plan is to get there around 9:30, and head out around 7pm. www.facebook.com/kmd

well based on your response sounds like you are going to want to do harder stuff. The gunks is pretty sandbagged, I guide there. I am not climbing that hard on gear so maybe we are not a good fit.

I'll jump into the ring too... I need a partner for Sunday. I'm looking to lead some 5.9s and 5.10s. I'll be up camping this weekend so any time Sunday is fine by me.

EDIT: Linking up with J Magness for Sunday.
