This TOTALLY made my day! I spent the summer of 07 in NY and completely fell in love w/ the Gunks. Seeing the pics with so many big names in my beloved place was awesome. Thanks.

"Eric Keto on Directissima"
If it's called Directissima, why is he traversing? :-)
Rich R: Do you want me to remove the photos I posted for you a few days ago, so that you can re-post them with captions etc?

Hey Mighty Hiker...what's the problem? Seems like you couldn't get much more of a direct traverse than this.

Rich Ross,
Great posts. I like your "off root" observation. The view of the Trapps from Copes is my favorite all time landscape. It is never the same.
MH, Funny comment on Directissima.
Perch, What's Steve W climbing?

The line of Directissima, when viewed from the proper vantage point at Storm King Mountain, has but the slightest leftward jot, hardly more than a molecular misalignment, a lilliputian leap, a subatomic crab crawl.
If Emilio took a whiz at the top of this climb, you can be sure the line itself would be etched in stone by Comician uric acid, at least if there were a good strong gust midway.

To Geno. Steve W. was on the first pitch of Fillapina. Just to repeat what others have said, it was a truely memorable weekend. It was great to see--and climb with--friends I haven't seen in 20, 30 years. I've never been one for typical school reunions, but my joy at this one just underlines that my real "school" was climbing, and particularly the Gunks. My one regret for the weekend is that because I only got "permission" to go (I'd just got back from a 2-week trip) at the last minute, I neglected to bring a camera----so keep the pictures coming!!!!!

Jannette! Thank you for posting the great photos. We didn't have any that captured the Vulgarian panel and the magic of that evening!
