Talk on climbing in America by Dominic

Northern New England is one of the best places to ice climb in the world. The climate produces vast quantities of groundwater which leaks out each winter, flowing down the hillsides & granite cliffs forming frozen fun-parks all over the place. The driving is easy, most of the approaches are reasonable, the weather is fairly predictable & the climbing is brilliant; The Black Dike, Repentance, the Last Gentleman or the aesthetic Pinnacle Gully are all achievable classics.....

New York City is best known for its yellow cabs, retail stores, and phenomenal skyline. It's a city full of coffee culture, alternative fashion & rock climbing..... This lesser known fact may come as a surprise to most who have yet to explore the hidden landscapes beneath the city's veil of steel & concrete. These unique "schist" boulders are steeped in history & offer a climbing experience like nowhere else in the world!!!
