A portion of Near Trapps has been closed to climbing MORE INFO >>>
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 www.mohonkpreserve.org/index.php?news
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description PG
Location Find the Inside Out block - the large block leaning against the cliff - then keep walking for about 150 until you see a large, right-facing corner capped by a big roof. About 40 left of that you will see a large, left-facing corner and Up in Arms is the diagonaling crack on the face of that corner. A bit difficult for the grade.

| Worth doing once if you're in the area. Pretty short and unfortunately the meat of the climb is about 20 feet long. The stacked blocks behind the climb make it potentially dangerous for the follower in the event of a fall. |
