Last time i went to the Gunks in July the Uberfall was Bone Dry!! i am going back out there this weekend guiding 9 other climbers and was wondering if the Uberfall was still dry or if it has started flowing again. Thanks alot!!

Ummm... Do you mean Ken's Crack / The Flake area?
Cause, the Uberfall actually covers quite a number of climbs which generally dry out quickly...

I assume he means the spring that leads to the pipe with the traditional tin cup. I also assume it is still dry as a bone.

you know you are not supposed to be guiding in the gunks espicially large parties. There are 4 guide services who are only allowed to guide in the gunks. good luck trying to pull this over on the rangers.

He could be talking about taking a group of friends or fellow college students, etc out.
I hope so at least....because I know for a fact that the rangers are strict about that.

Thanks i was referring to the spring. gonna have to make sure we have enough water.
Guiding is simply an easy way do describe the trip. i am not getting paid for my services this weekend i just happen to be the guy organizing the trip for a bunch of friends who climb together locally. i am aware of the rules in place at the preserve but thanks for looking out. Brian

It souldn't be so hot at this time of year that you need more water than you can easily carry. Just make sure all your friends bring enough for themselves.

Climbed in the Trapps on Monday, October 29, and the spring was dry. You are gonna have to bring your own water.
