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
A fun zig-zag crack with a fitting name. The Swain guide calls this a 5.5, but I'd say it's a bit more technical than that. Climb the crack left, then turn right at the crux (where the crack heads right). Either climb the face on the left or the wide crack on the right, then head up to the tree.
Location
All the way at the end of the Near Trapps. Look for the 5.6 A3 roof on the right with fixed gear and walk downhill to the left, turn right and find the route on the face.
Protection
Standard Gunks rack to 3", tree rap anchor at the top.
