About Dreaming of Gnar

Beast Coast Climbing

Dreaming of Gnar is a website designed to showcase the very best of the East Coast Climbing scene. From written accounts, media, videography, and more.

ABOUT

Beast Coast is a subtle nod to the common utterance ‘Best Coast’. As the common climbers representing the Beast Coast, we get it, our crags are difficult, notorious, sandbagged; while conditions often challenge our days outdoors. We don’t get 250+ days of sun, we get days of rain, condensation, humidity.
