Holly T Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Hey All! I'm moving to the PA area this January and, of course, upon receiving the job offer, ferociously googled local climb-ability. I realize that it's winter so (dry rock) trips outdoors on the weekends are a no go for the time being and it seems like there aren't any gyms in the area. I lack the resources to invest in ice gear this winter and I'll be living in communal/rented housing thus don't have a great opportunity to build a woody. I'm psyched to be in the region for so many reasons and know that there is plenty of recreating to be done BUT worried about lack of local gym/climbing community. For those of you who live on the Olympic peninsula - what's it like? What do you do for training in the winter months (if you're not ice climbing)? maybe you would share your woodies and/or friendship with me?Thanks for any input! Quote
JasonG Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 The Olympics lack good rock, which you've probably figured out by now. But, there is a lot of country to explore and it is a lot quieter on that side of the Sound. Personally, I like PA (though never lived there). Quote
Holly T Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 Unfortunately, that seems to be the case. (re. rock) but it looks beautiful! Thanks for the insight! Quote
