tomdarch..I wish to vote to add that southern IL climbing to the list...if you are with a local, the routes at Jackson in the 12a and above range are as good as any at the Red....Balance of Power, Team Honda, Working Class, Detox, The Reckoning, Viking Blood, Cro Magnon Warrior, Velvet Green..not a single bad move on any of those lines...
Also,the bouldering is high quality at the holy boulders, and our new "secret" area...

Kudos to you Wes!!! you must have a pile of stories!!
uuhhh..... I don't see the GUNKS on your list!!!!!! how about Rumney? and the bouldering in Pawtuckaway?
How'd you do North Conway but not the AWESOME climbing in Bar Harbour?
you gotta get north of the boarder too. Squamish, Lions Head, and my home crag rock!

Only time I was in NE was for ice season, so that is why. I *need* to hit up those areas someday for sure, as they are on "the list"...

Sold all my ice gear last spring, because I decided I hate being that cold and all the ice is so beat out that it wasn't worth driving 20+ hours to get to anyway.

you were just climbing in the wrong places.

There are only about 30 ice climbers in all of NB, so our ice is ALWAYS in really good shape.
let me know if you want to reminice...I'll take you ice climbing.
I agree the cold sucks, but it beats the hell out of sitting at home on your ass. And.....the wine is that much better when you get home.

True, but the friction is ON during ice season, and HP40 is only 5 hours away...
