The beautiful finger crack 3-star (V1) at Haycock ...


Description 

The Keystone State is home to a variety of cragging and bouldering. Although many Eastern PA folk may consider themselves Gunks goers, and Western PA folk frequently trek south to the New and the Red, there are some areas worth mentioning tucked into Penn's Woods.


Getting There 

Via major highways.

Not exactly a destination, but if you find yourself living here there is enough to keep oneself entertained between weekly trips out of state.

As someone who grew up in the greater Delaware Valley (suburb of Philly), I can attest to the diversity, quality, AND quantity of rock in PA. Granted, the random bridge is bolted to hell(long live the Henry Ave. Bridge!!), but there exists some extremely great rock (Diabase) west of Philadelphia on Haycock Mt. and Mt. Gretna. I'd liken this rock type to gritstone--very grainy and full of friction. Not necessarily a destination, but if you are traveling through the area and have a day to kill, both areas are a must to check out.
