So have you figured out where the Bufferzone is?
Brent pretty much gave it away earlier. It is pretty obvious too once you know it. :P

No, still in the dark as to the Bufferzone. :x
I haven't looked at a map though. Maybe I'll go back and read brent's clues.

You've got it!
You are some sort of super sleuth. Rummaging through all those clues and piecing the puzzle together.
:lol:
If you've ever been here then you know what a hole it is.

Hmm, I am doing more internet exploration of this mysterious and dark New York place.
Ok, I see Niagra county (location of the much feared Bufferzone) and I see Seneca County, which Christa claims is miles from any real rock. Which county are the gunks in? Orange?
And when are you moving out of the Zone, and where to?

Not quite as far south as Orange County, they're in Ulster County. Either way you slice, they are quite a haul from Seneca and/or Niagra counties.
Where to you move from when you move out of the Buffer Zone???
To anywhere that has better closer climbing!!!

Who is this,.... Christa? :shock: <---Imagine this face with one eye closed and a big eyebrow all crinkled squinting at you.
There is a ton of rock in the Niagara Gorge, it gets some sweet ice too, but pretty illegal I hear. Part is State Park which is illegal, and part is city, I'm assuming it's illegal since nobody has been putting up routes. Though I am tempted to go ask to see for sure. If I was to be damned here much longer I might try and sell the tourism angle to the powers that be. This is a dead or at least dying area.
The Gunks are just a short 5 1/2 hour drive east of here. It is pretty much north of NYC. Find New Paltz on the map and you are pretty close.
There is legal slimestone bouldering just across the border in Canada. It is in the Gorge. Climbing with a rope is illegal though. Go figure. The next closest stuff is just out of Toronto, 1 1/2 hours away.
In reply to: And when are you moving out of the Zone, and where to?
ASAP. Probably just across the border though for the time being. Then hopefully to Calgary by winter. :D Mmmmm, Calgary. Mmmmmm, ice. Galgalgalgalga. Sorry I was just having a moment. :oops:

Hmmm, I guess we posted at the same time.
I did figure it out on my own. It's not like it says right on your profile. You need to dig around a little.
You should be pretty set when the ice comes around. Being near the Finger Lakes and all. Low profile but lots of it, isn't there?

Umm... well yes and no, there is a good amount of decent ice around...especially just down the road in Ithaca, HOWEVER, most of it is insanely illegal because its all on state park land. So I'm still left driving to the Catskills or the Daks for decent ice. :boring:

Technically we're not actually in Buffalo, we're in Tonawanda.....which may actually be worse than Buffalo :? .
Moving, ASAP. But we've got this nasty immigration issue, seeing as Nathan and I like living together and would like to remain in the same country. Lots of work for both Carpenters and Engineers out near Calgary, so we'll likely head there.

true enough. I expect a TR, though, Nate.
I think i bunged up my hand this weekend somehow. My dad and I shoveled a fairly substantial pile of earth, and there is a strange, painful bump on the back of my hand.
hurty.

I'll give you a toprope anytime you want to go climbing. :robert:
What are you some sort of sally? Your back is supposed to hurt from shoveling not your hand. Well, maybe your hand if you didn't wear gloves and you got a big blister on the palm. But you shouldn't have to worry about that because all of the :boring: you do instead of climbing. :lol:
If your Dad makes you dig ditches instead of letting you participate in the Easter Egg hunt, you might be a Brent_E.

my back is strong, chossy. My hand is feeling a bit better today, and the lump is getting smaller. Weird.
Hey, we're going into algonquin park in a couple weeks. I should get a picture of the very large, likely virgin, chunk of granite that we pass. I think climbing is illegal in there, but this is a sweet piece of rock!
