Climbing at The Gap

After reading what I could, I decided I wanted to climb a Gap classic, a 5.4 called Triumvirate, located on Mt. Tammany. Mt. Tammany is on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River and is one of the two main climbing areas at The Gap. The other is Mt. Minsi on the Pennsylvania side, which I hope to explore on another trip.

How I Prepared to Climb a Big Mountain without a Big Mountain

Some will argue Rainier isn’t a big mountain. There are 53 peaks in Colorado over 14,000’ and Rainierstands at 14,411’. True it isn’t Everest big, but it is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous UnitedStates. Serious mountaineers come to Rainier for training. Depending on the route, you’ll gain upwardsof 10,000 vertical feet and spend a good bit of time at altitude. To me, that makes Rainier a big mountain.
