A mere 70 miles from Manhattan, the concrete jungle gives way to raw earth floor of the Appalachian Mountains in New Paltz, New York. This is the Shawangunk Mountain range, affectionately nicknamed the Gunks by the thousands of climbers who reach for new heights here and have been since the 1930s. I put my life in the hands of Bobby Ferrari, owner of High Exposure Adventures inside the sprawling Mohonk Preserve. He has been climbing for over 20 years.
