'Cause you'll need one if this flooding on the way to the Trapps persists. Photo was taken just outside of New Paltz looking towards the Trapps.

Wow what a beautiful New Years Day. Keeping the tradition alive of climbing on the first day of the year was not hard at the gunks with this beautiful weather!

This is another photo of Zack sporting a hunting vest on a variation to a cool problem in Cragswood.

This is Zack on a variation to a cool problem in Cragswood. It is only a couple moves but it is no give-away.

This is tim on Afternoon Delight- a delightful climb indeed! I would say it is kind of "gunks-like" because of the horizontals. Photo:Mom

I dug up another photo of me (tbenson) on Skink: a reachy "5.6". Hey, at least I'm tall!

This is a 5.6 variation to ribs. It climb up a semiexposed arete. The day was crisp and cool, perfect for climbing!

Picture of me at my home gym, the inner wall. Photo was masterfully taken by TyB.

This is the beautiful view of the Near Trapps, and Milbrook in the distance.

WOW. Maybe I was weak today but this was a realllyy hard 5.11! Photo: Dad

This is a good short, easy route at P'kill. It starts out as a 5.easy and then gets progressively harder until the top. Photo: Dad

This was my first lead of this climb and my dad caught an exciting moment on camera when I rapp'd of a 15 foot roof!

This is me Leading Skink (5.6+) at Peterskill. It was a beautiful day and the photo ops were too good to pass up!
