Got a job working at a local ambulance company which allows me to stay in the area this summer!

Looking for weekday climbing partners for the Gunks this summer. All my fellow college student climbers are leaving the area until September and was wondering if anyone might be interested in getting some climb on?

Have rack, rope, car. Safe climber comfortably lead 5.7 in the Gunks working my way into the 5.8s there, know the area pretty well. Happy to climb with beginner climbers too so hmu if you too want to climb during the week when it's not crawling with folks.

Hi Medic741 ~
Keep me in mind for weekday climbing in the Gunks. Tuesdays usually best, some Mondays & Wednesdays & Fridays. Rack & 70m rope, mostly 5.6's, lead to a few of the easier 8's. I'm in NYC, normally get to Trapps by about 10am weekdays.

I would love to join you on the weekdays. My name is Alex I live in Brooklyn but don't mind the beautiful drive to the gunks. I started climbing last summer and I do 5.9-5.10s at the gym but that's more comparable to a 5.7 at the Gunks. I don't lead but I can lead belay. Hoping to get enough experience to do that this year. Maybe even buy a rack and lead a 5.6. I'm a photographer by profession so my schedule is really flexible and I could bring my camera gear for some truley amazing shots.

I'm really trying to get experience so I'll do anything. Carry your rope and rack... Get lunch... Drive... Make corny jokes.

Keep me in mind! I'm 21 leading for 3 seasons now. Leading 5.8 and have led 9s in the gunks, but I'm wary of calling that my grade. From long island, But live in new Paltz for part of the week most weeks.

Going for my Amga certs and I'm a safe and stoked partner

Also, I've got full double rack, rope, and other gear for days

Medic you down for tomorrow? I'm in the same spot. I work in an ER so I have free days during the week. My normal partner bailed for tomorrow. I lead easy routes up to 5.5 but I can follow up to 5.9.
