I'm looking to get out anytime from now through early January. I hear safe harbor stays warm, and I have a project at Mocanaqua but I'm also down to boulder. Have everything needed for rope climbing, but no pad (gunks climber).

Lead comfortably into 5.11 sport or trad, down to work hard boulders or just have fun on easy stuff. I just wanna get out and climb while I'm home. Message me!

I'm also looking for a climbing partner to sport climb with, I'm between York and Lancaster. Interested in climbing safe harbor. In town from Denver, like to climb around the 5.9-.10b range on sport, whatever on top rope. I grew up around here and have never climbed here! Need to borrow/rent gear, didn't think to pack mine.

Hey i'm really interested. Its nearly 2hrs. Drive for me. The only catch is i have to be at work at 4. Its an 1h40 to your crag and 2 hrs to my work. Could you email me. How much time do you think you wanna take given that parameter? We'll say i pretty much have to be in my car at 2pm. Idk how you feel about that. If you wanna shoot me an email and then i could give you my number if systems are a go. I actually didnt loik at the weather either, assuming its slightly colder north.

Hey wheelinLiz; i was just at safe harbor today. Thats one if the closest sports crags to me if you're looking to get out there sometime. Light out til 4-430.

I will be in Philadelphia from December 24th to January 4th and would love to join you guys.

I lead 5.10s fairly consistency and I'm starting to climb some 5.11s. I can bring my 60m and 7 quickdraws if we are missing gear.

I'm also in the area for the holidays and would love to get out and climb. Anyone interested on climbing on the 27th?

I'm planning on climbing safe harbor on the 27th Suzanne

I would like to go out on the 30th if anyone is interested. Birdsboro preferred, but will travel to other place in PA. I am a safety-focused beginner who got started with top roping this past spring. I cannot offer much other then competent belaying and my enthusiasm. I am ok with whatever you want to do as long as I get to climb some easy routs in the process and learn whatever you are willing to teach. If interested, please PM!

Hey I'm not sure if I have to work but I could potentially be down to climb. I've never been to birdsboro so that might interest me. Generally I do sport at Safe Harbor and you can TR anything there. There's a couple other places worth TR'ing. Chickies rock or pole steeple. I'll have to see what my schedule is and check the weather but as long as it doesn't rain.

Safe harbor is 2hrs away for me right now, but I'd love to tag along. Sunday looks rainy, Saturday looks nice, at least in the morning.

Outdoors I follow around 5.7, nudging into 5.8 on a good day.

So far the 30th projected to be dry, albeit a bit on the cold side. Too early to tell thought. Pole steeple is to far for me, but I am good with everything else. Birdsboro is 15 minutes from my home, so that's great if you want to check it out. PM me if you decide you want to go.

Hey! I'm in southeast PA and looking for local partners! I'm 1-2 hours from birdsboro, safe harbor, high rocks, etc. I've got a 70m rope and additional gear. I would love to stay in touch for some future trips!

Hey Dave when I look at the weather I have that the other way around, Saturday rainy, Sunday nice. At 70 I'm confident the rocks on straight slab routes will dry out good, cracks will likely be wet. Bring some gear if you can! I have two ropes but looks my draws will be a hot commodity. Your range is perfect for me. I had a horrible climb last weekend but I've always been able to 5.9, 10s my good day. PM if your thinking about it. I believe freewheelinliz was gonna give it a crack and bring someone, and there might be a fourth from here trying to tag along. I gave a local buddy of mine a heads up for belay, he's taking a break but he'll be glad to belay. EITHER WAY I'll be there!
