And a few that post but never climb
Yeah, seems slim here in central & north Jersey too.
I just got back from a 3 day Memorial Day camping weekend in North West Jersey with several others.
The fellow campers I met on the trails and on the water had no clue or interest in what recreational climbing was all about. I don’t push the subject too much for fear of blowing my cover anyway.
I headed for the deep woods and Ninja climbed a few beauties solo. Did a little “outlaw†trimming on a grand White Oak with my Son. Its very nice to save a beautiful thing from a slow death.
Anyway, Seems most other campers packed in beer & snacks rather than climbing gear and tree I.D. books such as I did. We all enjoy the same woods differently. No problem.
