Funny thing.Most people think the only thing to climb in NY is to take a elevator to the top of a building.Maybe down in the city.Upstate theres some pretty good mountain ranges and lots of woods.Alot of people have gotten lost up in the mountains and have died of exposure.The adirondack mts can have some real nasty weather.In some areas a person could wander for many days before coming across a road.I know its not Alaska but you still have to be careful.I remember back in the 80's when the winter olympics were going on, quite a few "city slickers" come up and the winter wasn't too nice to them because they didn't dress for the weather.Frostbite can be nasty.~~~~tom
