Gunky Bliss

Me, getting the hang of things around here, pulling through the roofs of Wegetables.


Mmmm, tree fungus.

Trapps View

so many great routes so little time

Tim, Andrew, and myself, just hanging out on the first belay of Strickly From Nowhere, another classic.

I'll be missing the sight of this sign every morning..

more Gunky Greats

Tim on the second pitch of Bonnie's Roof. (I got to have the first pitch.)


Some local wildlife.

Near Trapps

A random climber on birdland just after we climbed it.
I definitely recommend linking both pitches into one monster pitch of fun all the way to the top.
Thin face, horizontals, a dihedral and jugs = sweetness.

yup, more gunks goodness.

the casual carriage road approach with fog in the valley below. too many great routes to list.

Soo Good.

Here's me on another classic route, CCK.

We ate like kings, thank you Denice.

Gunks is good.

especially with Tim S.

lemme outta here!

the city didn't want me to leave, or maybe it was happy I was leaving, someone was throwing a parade, and it blocked my exit.

More Pizza Please!

Wow. Spumoni Gardens, in Brooklyn near Coney Island. This is probably the best pizza I had in NYC. If you're in the area it's worth a trip. BMC.


We came, we saw, we rode the scary old ferris wheel of death, we survived, we even had hot dogs at Nathan's Famous, somehoe we survived, we conquered.


an then we rested.

ESB = Empire State Building

Top o' the city.

Grimaldi's, coal fired under the Brooklyn Bridge. Probably the best thin crust pizza in NYC. At least 10 times better than Lombardi's.

A lovely evening.

tea time

with Bryn of Brooklyn.

this is sand

Pam this one's for you.

all bells should grow legs.

who doesn't want one of these?

the boardwalk

Ok, so I know it's not really the one from the movie, but it says it is.
