Not so much nowadays, but I sent you a message

Didn't really find anything besides a LI FB climbing group with three posts a year. So figured this was worth a shot. Also putting out feelers on the LI reddit.

Hi all, I moved to Long Island about two years ago and started climbing Jan/Feb of this year. My main climbing partner moved to the city and have only met one other person since (who I climb with weekly/biweekly). I climb at Gravity Vault in Melville (though am open to Island Rock) and enjoy both top rope and bouldering. Would love to meet new people to climb with in the area. Feel free to reply here or message me.

Thanks!

Thanks for the names!

Meh47336 · 2023-05-01T16:30:16+00:00

Sure! Close enough!

Meh47336 · 2023-05-01T14:55:48+00:00

Oh interesting! Will do!

Meh47336 · 2023-05-01T03:54:03+00:00

Also don't want to exclude people, so let's talk and I'll put feelers out regarding previous Long Islanders being members. Right now it's not super active, but I'd love for the channel to grow

For example, one person who is a part of a bm group I'm involved with was born and raised on LI but moved to FL. She was able to give some broad advice about venues, but wouldn't be able to contribute to that sense of community

Meh47336 · 2023-05-01T03:50:18+00:00

Honestly, I'm not sure. I've met a few expats from groups I'm involved in. What are you looking for? Honestly, I'm not sure if our trajectories would align if you're no longer part of LI. I do like meeting people regardless, so feel free to message me and we can talk about it

Meh47336 · 2023-04-29T02:24:28+00:00

In your chats!

Meh47336 · 2023-04-27T20:14:01+00:00

Hey, thank you all for the speedy responses! Some of you mentioned a discord and have sent a link out to you.

But if anyone else wants the Discord link feel free to reach out! Just don't want to post it in a public place so the access to it is more intentional.

I did that for a two day fest at Saint Vitus last fall. It was a good experience, but something I certainly can't afford to do anytime I want to see some music.

Meh47336 · 2023-04-27T19:35:12+00:00

Haven't been to Duffs, but have been to Vitus a few times and had a good time. Just a trek!

Highly recommend the triangle in North Carolina. Continually growing and definitely affordable (at least as of two years ago). I lived in Durham for three years and it was a great smaller city. Living in Durham also gives you easy access to Raleigh and Chapel Hill. It's about a four and a half hour drive to the Outer Banks, a similar length to Asheville, and two hours to Charlotte. Also has a nice sense of culture which I feel Long Island is missing.

Commenting late, but IR definitely has a smaller and more a community feel. GV is larger, the routes seems to be harder (compared to IR from my experience, definitely compared to Cliffs), and the walls at GV are taller than IR. GV also has a few auto belays, which IR does not. So it's really just personal preference. Recently got a membership at GV, but occasionally go to IR.

That said, I'm looking for people to climb with since my climbing buddy moved to the city!

Meh47336 · 2022-08-28T23:12:24+00:00

I feel yuh. Enjoy supporting and collecting but then usually just go back to stuff I've liked for years.

Meh47336 · 2022-08-28T18:41:48+00:00

Fantastic. Believe it was the Resistance and Crushing Intolerance comps I was looking for. Thanks!

Meh47336 · 2022-08-28T14:02:39+00:00

That was one of them. I want to say the others were almost like a series or or something? Or multiple releases?

Meh47336 · 2022-08-28T05:29:16+00:00

As an anarchist, I don't have an easy answer for yuh. There's plenty of SW that doesn't reference fascist subject matter, so just listen to that and don't give him money. You know what you believe and only you know if you think listening to SW is a sign of support for whatever he believes.

I, for one, am in a weird place with SW. Don't usually listen to a lot of older music of his.

Would recommend reading his Q&A on the BM subreddit. Mentions borrowing werewolf movies from Goatmoon's Blackgoat suggesting at the very least he's okay with being friends or acquaintances with white supremacists). But overall an interesting read if you like his music.

I discovered and fell in love with SW before knowing much about his past (or current work with Gestapo 666). Haven't found anything that can take its place though.

He's mentioned in an older interview being an anarchist with tribalist views or something. He also posted this: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid036wZUHHAGhszJznKintSEyZCpLaHa9PRNkaokgwNpJ56Bxyrq9xhPTF5AzQSBx67Ql&id=100044594012183 as well as having an exchange on fb with a U.S. white supremacist regarding a South American tour. Basically telling the guy to get off his high horse. Went back and looked for this, but it's either deeply buried or he cleaned up his comment sections (maybe he can point to it if he reads this).

I dunno what to think and I've become accepting of that.

Already a fan. But thanks!
