Climbing Near Olyphant, Pennsylvania

Several untouched sandstone boulders scattered through the woods within close proximity to the parking lot. Beware of hunters during hunting season since it is a state park allowing hunting in certain areas of the park. Right off of Route 6, all of the boulders are within 150ft of the parking lot.

Reservoir Boulders is a small cluster of conglomerate boulders and short slab walls located just outside Jessup. A quick 7-minute walk on established trails brings you to the area, tucked into a quiet corner of the woods.The walls here are low—topping out around 10 feet—and the climbing is best suited for short, mellow sessions. Expect a mix of pebbly texture, pockets, and edges typical of conglomerate rock. While it’s not a destination crag by any means, Reservoir Boulders can be a worthwhile stop for locals looking for something close to home while only needed 1 crash pad for most problems. There’s little formal info available, so feel free to explore and add what you find. From I-81, take Exit 191B for US-6 W toward Carbondale. Continue on US-6 W for about 1.5 miles, then take the Jessup exit. At the end of the ramp, turn left onto Moosic Lake Road. After about 0.5 miles, turn right onto Valley View Drive and follow it to the end. Then turn right onto Archbald Heights Road and continue until you see a small parking lot on the right near the reservoir. Park here:

The main wall is across from the Tree House by the 4 handicap parking spots. It is a great climb if you need a quick fix and are in the Scranton Area. If you explore a little bit under the tree house, you'll find nice little caves to climb out of. If you hike down to the water falls, there are a lot of problems to try.All the boulders on here (besides Danielle and John) are on the Main Wall, but multiple new walls have been found away from this wall. Not far from 81, Nay Aug is easily accessible without hardly any approach.
