Headed to New York and I wanna Climb

Postby B-teamer » Tue Aug 24, 2010 3:08 pm

Yo,

Im headed to NY on my Jet Blue Pass sometime between Sept 7th and Oct 6th. Anyone got any beta on where I can go bouldering while im up there? Im gonna be staying in Queens and I'd like to get up to the Gunks and the Master Bedroom.

I hear there is a train that drops you off near the MB from NY? Any way to get to the gunks with out a car?

Thanks,
Clayton

Im from texas so i love steep sharp over rated choss. Its kind of my specialty. Ill probably be up there early to mid Sept. Can you take a train or something to the gunks? Does anyone know what train I take to the MB choss pile? I get really confused on subways. What about the Ice pond? is it worth it?

I wont even have a pad so I will be flashing everything with one tendinitis ridden elbow tied behind my back, in my $3000 custom splat Nikes.

now if you're into hiking an hour and scrambling up what NYC cats call a "mountain" to climb on 3 extremely sharp, overrated intermediates that you'll probably flash and a shitty V5 that you'll without-a-doubt flash named after some TV whore, go for it. if you want send real problems, just stay on the carriage road.


ug, porch, first of all, megan fox is v3 (she was so hot in jennifer's body tho, mmm, evil bitch, just want to tear it up.. ). good job.

and you were just there huh? are you the effin chipper?

I-95 Roadside choss FTW. Bonus points if actually in the bronx. Cold malt 40's and hot 108 jamz and an escape route all advised.

if Criz's schedule sucks, hit up Tronic. He knows the way from the city to the boulders. NJ Transit to Tuxedo for the Master Bedroom. very regular trains.
