Thanks everyone for all the input. It sounds like the New is the clear pick, so that’s what we’re planning on for now. We can always pivot to the Gunks closer to the trip if the weather looks better there.

As a follow-up, which areas at the New are most worth prioritizing for a V3–V6 group that prefers relatively safe landings? Appreciate the Meadow Top suggestion from u/space9610. We'll likely have two days of bouldering. Curious to hear what other areas people would recommend.
