    Are there any NY Hanging groups?

    I am a newbie and i would love to hang and learn more about this wonderful new hobbie of mine. Are there any NY Hanging Groups in the New York area where we can plan day trips or longer trips?

    I live upstate just outside of the Adirondacks. Myself and another forum member DuctTape get together about once a month for an over night or two. Sometimes we are joined by others but it's mostly just us. I haven't run into any organized hanging groups, but just because one doesn't exist doesn't mean we couldn't start one.

    Just out side of the city.

    I try to get out for some time on the AT or peak bagging one weekend a month.

    If you'd like, I'll ping you when planing to head out.

    Actually heading out next weekend. Not sure if it will be the AT (southern MA) or VT for Camels Hump or Ellen.

    Southern MA is a bit swampy right now from the rain. Great ridge walking on a clear day and I'm sure the ascents and descents would be easier on a dry day. Had a good slip yesterday on my way to great barrington (pine needles on rocks should be against the law ha)

    We don't mind any types joining. All of us are from very different backgrounds and occupations. I myself am in Law Enforcement, and my usual hiking partner is a math teacher. An MD would be a welcome addition as much as a casual hiker who teaches yoga on the weekends would be. Just give me a shout when you're free and want to come up and we'll see about getting something together.

    Can't believe I left that out!! So yeah if you know any female bikini models who like to backpack and sleep in hammocks, please send them our way! Even if they don't like to backpack or sleep in hammocks, please STILL send them our way. Thank you.
