I'm in Northwest NJ (near the DWG) and am in the market for occasional partners. It would be nice to meet more climbers in the area.

Well JRenee, your location has a lot to do with things. I never doubted for a minute that you lived in NYC, because, as someone else previously posted, only a resident of the aforementioned stinkhole would have the gall to say, "I live in New York" and assume that people knew he meant city. See, for those of us who live/lived in the rest of the state, we get a little tired of the attitude from the city we subsidize with our tax dollars.
I'm guessing you're not going to be up for the 7 hour drive to Niagra Falls to do some bouldering, so your location, in a tiny corner of a big state, does indeed make a difference. Jeez, I left NY state 6 years ago, you'd think I could let this go by now! I gotta go kick the dog...

PS, your post was way better than the one I started writing along the same lines. Mine just made me sound like a jerk....so I deleted it

With all this talk, and I'm still not vertical!
Ugh!!
Wudever... I'm arriving in Britain in two days, and will climb to my heart's content there.
G'BYE!

Har!!! I will rarely do the 15 min drive to Niagara Falls to some bouldering! Limestone sucks!
I will agree, as a confused Canadian living so close to the state of NY I am not always sure if the person means NY state or NYC. Though I think I'm slowly picking it up.

Now, it didn't actually say who is 1 and 2, but if we are not #1, then it must be NYC. Who would the other one be? Somewhere in New Jersey? Josh
too funny... I had a couple of Boston buddies in college.... they had the worst road rage I have ever seen... I thought their heads were going to explode everytime someone did the slightest thing.. and then it was a 10 min screaming and finger explosion extravaganza.... It was crazy!!!
and I am from philly....were're not the best either but the Boston fellas were damn crazy.

I've only ever seen Jersey road rage... which usually gets resolved by tail-gating and high beaming the weaker animal.
It's a vicious practice; but, it culls the flock.
...I have been known to get bouts of rage at the mass of SUV drivers with cellphones that nearly collide with my tiny car weekly.
