Gunks are great! don't forget to stop by the store Rock and snow ant New Paltz, the town next to the cliff, and get the book, it is really good book! You can be climbing 3 star climbs for the whole day. Madame G is awesome (5.6), Horseman (5.7), Beginners Delight (5.5?). Go to www.gunks.com, you will find everything there. There is a hostal in town you can crash at, in New Paltz, the owner is a very nice dude, $30 per night, includes milk, cereals, bread and eggs in the morning, it has internet and it is very close to the centre of town. I will be there in October 10th, I can't wait!!! Have fun!
