The Shawangunks \u2014 \u201cthe Gunks\u201d to most of us \u2014 is one of the oldest climbing areas in the US, with a storied history dating back to the 1930s. Located 80 miles north of New York City, it has long been a focal point of rock-climbing culture, and remains a traditional climber\u2019s paradise.<\/p>\n
There is no shortage of very difficult routes that will challenge the best climbers, but the Gunks is even more famous for its incredible easier climbs. You could spend several seasons exploring made-to-climb cracks, faces, overhangs, and dihedrals without ever venturing beyond the 5.7 grade! Multi-pitch outings abound, and the graded carriage road at the base of the cliffs allows easy strolls to even the most distant ends of the cliff.<\/p>\n
This full-color, ruthlessly researched guide represents the \u201cnext generation\u201d of Gunks guidebooks. It covers over 600 routes at the two main cliffs: the Trapps and Near Trapps. Cliff-base photos get you quickly oriented on the ground, and high-resolution aerial images show key features on routes. Detailed area and route descriptions help you find just the right flavor of climb. You\u2019ll spend less time searching, and more time pulling overhangs, plugging cams, and chasing your own piece of history.<\/p>\n
