01-20-2008 With graduate classes slowing down, I am returning to the gym this week and expect a full 2008 climbing season. While on vacation, I got to climb for about 30 seconds at the The Baths in the British Virgin Islands. The Baths were recently featured in Rock and Ice. Also, if you are interested in Software Engineering or Computer Graphics, our team has started a blog: mishmesh.net. 07-01-2007 The 3 day Gunks trip report from our first climbing trip of the season is now up. Also, gunks.com has posted a useful map of places to eat in New Paltz. 05-21-2007 Jason and I tried to start the season off right with a 3 day trip to Seneca despite an unfavorable weather forecast. We arrived at the campground at 1:40am and the "passing showering" we expected turned into "constant down poor." My kmart tent without a rain cover took on just as much water as you'd expect and I woke up looking like I just got out of a swimming pool. In the morning, we accepted defeat and made the 6 hour right back home. At least some of my friends have done some climbing in this season. 12-20-2006 Now that the semester is over, I've found time to add two new Gunks trip reports: here and here. The first one describes my first and only trad fall of the season. Even though I've been slacking, Doug managed to get in a lot of trad this fall. Read one of his stories here. 09-12-2006 The report for my Canadian Rockies trip is now up. It contains zip files with ALL the pictures. You can also download the audio files if you are too lazy to read the report. I bought a voice recorder for school and have started using instead of taking notes during climbing trips. The audio tends to have more details than the trip report but it's not as polished. Doug has a trip report from a recent trip to the New River Gorge. He also has a trip report from last year's PA Gathering at the Gunks.
