Best crag on the east coast

I am looking to find an area that would be worth staying at for 3-4days. What had been your favorite area?

If you want to do multi pitch trad, I would say Seneca is a good choice.

The New River Gorge.

When and what do you like to climb?

How far east coast? I call Rumney but its a bit east.

'East Coast' covers a lot of ground. Both the New and Chatta have A LOT more stellar climbing, both sport and trad, than you can even scratch the surface of in 3-4 days. Both are sandstone and basically single pitch cragging, so other factors like proximity and weather will be used to choose between. If you want big granite with up to 10 pitch multi pitch, then Cashiers/Highlands in western NC. Again, enough to keep you occupied for years. And there is of course the Gunks if you want to be up that way and can stand the crowds.

Crag so single pitch? Sport or trad? Anywhere on the east coast? 

 

that crag on the Florida coastline with the V12(V4) that the guy from NJ put up.  not too many jelly fish.

Hi guys,

I was wondering what's the best restaurant in Europe, and also your favorite type of insect?

Thanks,
Russ

If you come in the Fall there are a lot of good options! As a New Englander my suggestions would be

Trad only: Gunks

Sport and Trad all mixed up: The New, The Red, Chatt... Maybe Rumney, but... the other locations have a lot more variety to offer

If you were going up Northeast right NOW I would recommend Acadia since the temps tend to be a little nicer there; but that is WAY out there.

Linville gorge is worth a trip, long approaches, but very serene.  Do you want luxury or self sufficiency?

Linville is a spectacular pristine wilderness area,
Competent trad climbers love the place.
An unforgettable experience

I’m all about the exploring and tough stuff. I hit some trad on multi pitches try to stay on sport for the single pitch days for quick climbs and more sends

Tim,

Can I offer you some hotel options, and maybe a car rental deal?   Let me know.

Most linville approaches are a gruntfest, and having to bring everything with you makes it tougher.  The view and setting will keep your mind occupied.  Some trails are easy to miss and can cost time.  Camping there inspired me to climb seeing the moving dots on the mummy buttress years ago.

Thats like a local saying Birdsboro has great sport climbing.  :)

Opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone has one and most of them stink.
