Gunks Rock Weekend
April 25 - April 28
The 8th annual Gunks Rock Weekend takes places from 25-28 April 2025. The event is held in the Shawangunk Mountains, USA. The Gunks (short for Shawangunks) is located near New Paltz, NY, and about 85 miles from the NYC metropolitan area.
Climbers can choose from multiple clinics on all the skills and techniques needed to get out on rock – from basic skills with top-roping, leading and multi-pitch climbs.
Any basic gear needed will be provided by the organisers – helmets, harnesses, and rock shoes.
The full schedule can be found here.
The event is organised by Alpine Endeavors.
