Burlington for a Day

Here are a few photos from Pok-o-Moonshine:












The climbing Gym Petra Cliffs is a cool gym. Its walls are about 35 feet tall. There are lead routes all over the gym and there is a separate bouldering area located on the second floor. There are taped routes all over the place. Which is something that our local gym is working on.

At the gym we asked where we could go climb due to the wet weather and everyone said Rumney. The routes there are overhanging enough that they are not wet in the rain. I had not even considered going there. I have read and heard about it for a long time and wanted to visit one day but I had not idea that it would be on this trip. So we decided to make the two hour drive to Rumney, NH.

One problem to going to Rumney was that not only did we not have a guide, but the guide for the area is out of print. We would try and download topos at the BnB later that night.

Star and I climbed here for about three hours and decided to grab a bite to eat before we headed for the BnB that we were going to be staying at.

We finally were able to procure a few topos but they would have to be viewed on my computer that has a bad battery and does not work unless it is plugged in. So we said screw it and drove out early on Monday morning.

Rumney here we come!!!!
