Very destructive to cliff fauna and flora, and in addition they are just douche bags, in my experience. Climbers annoy the hell out of me.

Or the dude who is like yo bro we were going to climb that route right after this one. And I'm like yeah ok well I'm going to climb it right now and when we're done we can switch. And then he's like nah dude I mean we're kind of going to keep climbing this one and that one. And I'm like oh shit you got reservations? And he's like You want to fight? And I'm like damn...'biner to the face? Maybe I'll climb this other one. Or the dude who doesn't know anything about leading but his friend is like Nah it's 5.9 bro it's all good then he backsteps the rope and takes a 25 foot whipper upside down with no helmet and smashes his skull and drips blood on me while I'm belaying. Did he say belaying? Ah man this one time I belayed this dude...he climbed like 5.29c. For shiz.

Dick Strange not having his signature pizza named after him. (much less on the menu) 2. Mandatory first time camper orientation consisting of Miguels gun toting curfew warning from "Red River Ruckus." 3. Canadians from the Gunks that broker their way into being climbing partners and reveal the fact they refuse to have anything to do with cracks insanely late in the proceedings. 4. <- Someones already mentioned how this number relates to bouldering. 5. The lack of respect shown to Miguel, private property, disposal of human waste, and an obviously pipe friendly environment. See also "Spring Break Destinations" or "REI sold me a beyond organic consciousness the belies my lack of bearing?" 6. More snakes than minx. 1.

We usually stay at Whittleton which is a state campground just down the road from Miguel's. It costs more but it is a bit nicer than Miguel's and doesn't suffer from most of the overcrowding problems at Miguel's. Only downside is dealing with your average car camper types. Lago Linda's seems to becoming an en vogue alternative climber hangout as well. Yes, several. We usually stay at Whittleton which is a state campground just down the road from Miguel’s.

Never leave home without them. Esp. on a tent trip. Anywhere else to camp near the RRG besides Miguel's? Earplugs for sleepin. Never leave home without them. Esp. on a tent trip.

Anywhere else to camp near the RRG besides Miguel’s?
