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
Look for an obvious, right-leaning, finger and hand crack that ends near a small tree about 60' up. This is about a 5-10 minute walk past Birdland. Although the start is the steep and strenuous crux, the rest of the route is sustained with good jams and insecure feet.
