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
Climb a right-facing flake/corner to a small ledge about 10-12 feet up; there is a small tree on the ledge. Move up and left past another small tree to a good flake and great holds. Traverse right a bit then climb to a good stance (crux). Follow a thin crack to a ledge. The belay stance and rappel tree are about 20-30 feet higher. This route doesn't look very appealing from below and it is a bit short, but I think it deserves two stars: nice moves and good protection.
Location
Locate a large, overhanging, right-facing corner with orange rock; that is the start to Animal Farm. Serfs' Up is about 75 feet left or so down the trail.
