A portion of the Near Trapps has been closed to climbing. This includes land below the cliff to above cliff line and starts approximately at Eenie Meenie and continues south about 200 feet. Climbers are asked to respect the no-trespassing signs and advised to use the access trail marked in orange blazes. This trail starts at the intersection of the Blue trail over the top of the Nears and the first Red trail. Follow the orange blazes east and downhill from this junction to arrive at the far (south) end of the Nears. For more information please view http://www.mohonkpreserve.org/index.php?news
Start at the same place as Bird Cage, at a huge left-facing corner.
P1: Climb 15' up the corner and traverse left past a pin. Although not the hardest part of the pitch, this is definitely challenging to lead. After traversing about 15', climb corners up to an overhang. Pass this on the left to a ledge and a rap anchor. This anchor is often used to TR the hard routes to the left. 5.8, 90'.
Although short, there is a lot of climbing on this pitch. The protection is good.
