On the home stretch of the hike out, both Pat and I were probably thinking about how vulnerable our position was: trodding along a narrow path in the woods, surrounded on both sides by a nice cover of tall brush. In the pitch dark. Almost in unison, we saw to our right, not 25 yards away, two beady yellow eyes…
I love Long Island. I love beaches. I love bouldering. See photos. More coming soon.

Sometimes, things happen in our lives that we cannot control. It is how we deal with these situations that determines how people see us…

In case you didn’t know, there are a ton of strong teenagers these days whose climbing accomplishments are held back only by their learners’ permits and nonexistent spending power. Hopefully the youngsters out there find this well. On May 15th, Melissa competed in the SCS Regionals, where she placed 2nd in Juniors. Also, she may [...]
Snowy Mountain Huecos from Eastern Climber on Vimeo.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the boulders for the first time. I drove the 2.5 hours from my parents lake house on Kasoag Lake to Snowy Mountain; in the heart of Adirondack Park. I had heard from other climbers, time and time again: “You gotta get up to Snow Mountain, man! The rocks have crazy huecoed features!” I saw it. And I went. Every bit of my whimsical, climber-wet-dream-fantasy was realized.

Despite warnings of everything from lightning to hail, I decided to haul up to Rumney for some climbing on Saturday. This time of year, the weather man is right about 10 percent of the time….
After my bout with Farley on Saturday morning, I drove up to the Northern Adirondacks to climb on the boulders at McKenzie Pond. After the beautiful drive through Keene Valley, Taylor and I hopped out of the car to check things out, and I proceeded to poop my pants when I saw the boulders – HUGE, solid, granitic Gneiss monoliths in the middle of the woods, offering everything from committing slabs to burly compression arêtes. The friction on the rock was… let’s just say it’s very fricative. I rushed back to my ride to set up camp before it got too late.
I got my hands on Jason Kehl’s new feature last night, and I get to pull on it for my birthday… It’s nice when Rockwerx HQ is down the road. Too bad I’m stuck in a cube today, and not pulling on some Gunks Conglomerate… -NS

About a month ago, I asked Melissa if she’d be interested in contributing something to EasternClimber; something from her point of view, about climbing, in general. I told her to write about whatever she wanted, but only if she had something to say. Her eyes widened, her face lit up, and I think she started it that night.
Meet Melissa Godowski…
