Best US Climbing Spot (now til mid-May) ?

I have a surprise 3 weeks to do something, I have a car/double rack/pads, but no partner. Considering a bouldering area so that I don't have to worry about securing a partner everyday.

Trying to decide where the best climbing is right now (driving not flying). I'm in NYC right now, but weather/possibility of finding partners is more important than distance.

Any ideas? Where would you go?

Gunks/Adirondacks/North Conway.

Let's focus on this.

It would be damn hard to just show up and find partners in the ADKs, especially mid-week. The best part about the ADKs is that there is often no one there...but this is a big downside for the partnerless climber. It would likely end up being a lonely couple of weeks.

A bit easier to find partners, but still far from ideal. These seem to be more of a weekend scene, without a steady supply of long-term roadtripping climbers to keep you partnered-up mid week.

My inclination would be to go to the Red or the New. Both have good centralized climber's campgrounds and lots of climbers hanging out for weeks at a time (especially so at the Red). You would have absolutely zero difficulty finding people to climb with on any day of the week. Plus, the climbing is pretty darn good...

Boulder, CO. Plenty of partners, tons of different rock.

Gunks is a good choice too, but harder to find partners mid-week in the northeast. Out west no problem.

I hear Mt Yonah is a hidden gem.
