Stonewall Senders - an LGBTQ+ monthly climbing meetup group

Discount day passes are available to the group, simply RSVP here and let the front desk know you're here for the meetup!

Climb/R (NJ Climbing Meetup)

Looking to meet a new climbing community? Maybe you've just moved and would like to meet some new climbing partners? Or you are new to the community and sport and would like to meet up with some new friends! Every Tuesday we have a very psyched community leader to introduce climbers to our community and to each other! Many of the regulars to this meetup (8+) don't bother signing up, but you will see them climbing and chatting at the meetup. Parking on Hackensack streets is free after 6 pm, so don't be discouraged if the Goat parking lot is full, which is often. Please inform the front desk that you are here for the meetup to receive the $18(no rentals) or $21(shoes and harness included) discounted day pass! Top Rope belay and Lead belay checks are free, and provided by the Goat staff team. All experience levels welcome.

Catskill 3500 Bushwhack - North Dome

In order to officially secure your spot on this event and to receive the details email of where to exactly park and meet with us you must register on our site by clicking the link below. https://www.trailboundproject.com/service-page/catskill-3500-bushwhack-north-dome?referral=service_list_widget Our events typically fill up at 24 people for guided hikes! You won't see the attendees here on meetup as registrations are on our site but we wanted to let you know that we typically see large outings for all of our events! North Dome is a 3,610' tall trailless peak and one of the 33 Catskill 3500 peaks that one must climb to become a Catskill 3500 Club member. It's about 3 miles of on-trail and 2 miles of off-trail bushwhacking with a total of 2,000' of elevation change that takes 5 to 7 hours to complete. Although we'll take this hike at a leisurely to moderate pace, North Dome is infamous for its 5 cliff-bands, so prepare for lots of scrambling! It's a challenging hike, often times with mud and stinging nettles, so it's great to do with other TrailBounders! This will not be your typical guided hike. Every hike with TBP is an opportunity to learn, so for this hike, we will use map & compass combined with orienteering techniques to navigate. No electronics! Although the guides will do much of the map & compass work, all participants will get turns navigating, with the guides helping and teaching when needed. The objective is to build your confidence so you can go out and summit other trailless Catskill 3500 peaks alone or with others. Although North Dome is not known for its views, it does offer beautiful terrain and fun challenges. Join us for a fun day of navigating and scrambling! The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.

Bar is CASH ONLY. 21+ Bring photo ID. Keep in mind, there is also an online version of this group, which meets concurrently but has a separate event notice. The Keep version will be hosted by Jonathan, Nicole, and Cici, and the online version will be hosted by Meghan!! Be sure to RSVP to the correct event:)

Outdoors Book Club: Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies — William Golding When a group of British schoolboys become stranded on an uninhabited island, their attempt to build a civilized society gradually gives way to fear, violence, and chaos. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies is a dark exploration of human nature, power, morality, and what happens when the rules of civilization disappear. Typically our events last ~ 1.5 hours. Bring questions and topics to discuss. Afterwards, we will go socialize at a bar nearby.
