Your Day
What to wear
We recommend comfortable clothing that allows you to move
freely. Functionality and flexibility is paramount to your comfort throughout
the day. Layering is always a good idea. Wear shorts or long pants, depending
on the time of year, and bring along a wind breaker and a hat for cooler days.
Heavy hiking boots are not necessary, but wear comfortable shoes that will allow
you to scramble over rocky terrain. Sneakers or trail shoes are best, and avoid
open shoes and sandals. Keep in mind that sunny winter days can become surprisingly
warm, and hot summer days can become cool, so be prepared for any type of weather.
What to bring
Bring a lunch, and lots of water or sports drinks, at least
2 quarts, per person, per day. Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat is also
a good idea. Bring along a small to medium sized backpack to carry it all in.
What to expect
We usually meet at Rock and Snow in New Paltz at 9 AM. We
get geared up at the shop, and then head out to the cliffs. Climbing usually
involves a short approach hike to the climbing area. We will then climb until
about 4 or 5 PM.
Cancellation policy
Weather forecasts are rarely 100% accurate. For the most accurate
and up-to-date forecasts please call us. We live here, so we can look out our
window, and tell you exactly what the weather is doing in the Gunks.
Cancellations due to inclement weather will be determined
by Mountain Skills Climbing Guides. If you have booked a trip and think that the weather might
be poor, call us and we will make the determination. Cancellations are accepted
up to 72 hours in advance for credit or refund. Cancellations from 72 to 24
hours before your trip will be charged at 50% of the day fee. After 24 hours
no cancellations will be accepted, and you will be charged for the full day.
Of course, if it rains or it is otherwise unclimbable, you will not be charged
for your scheduled day. |
