I am looking for long backcoutry scrambles (like the Flatirons, but without the traffic) that are within 2-3 hours from the NYC. I guess it can be anything up to 5.5-5.6, as long as it's long, secluded and not steep (shoulder tendinitis).

PS. There supposed to be some long slides in Harriman and on the back side of the Gunks ridge, any ideas where exactly?
