Hi guys! 

Looking for someone to climb with in the Philadelphia/Delaware County/Lancaster areas. I mainly climb Sport and I love Safe and Bird, but have heard good things about Ralph Stover, which I haven't climbed at.

I am available some Mondays and Fridays. When are you looking to climb? Also, what grade do you lead?

Hi Arden, I'm available every other weekend and typically climb at the bird.  Shoot me a message if you would like to climb sometime.

I would love to have a partner at the Bird and or Safe Harbor. I've been to the Bird but never safe harbor. Sunday?

Early start Sunday. Supposed to be 90.

I hope you guys are planning to go to Safe Harbor North, you'll likely need oven mitts and a portable air conditioner if you plan on climbing at Safe Harbor South!

I'll be in Reading June 14-21 visiting family, anyone interested in showing me what PA has to offer for climbing?! Willing to pitch in gas and beer!

Hello all. I'm looking for a partner for June 15th. I've climbed each of these spots and am game for whatever. It is supposed to be in the low 80s and I completely agree with Crossing's comment, safe harbor south would be too hot, however (SH north in the morning only should be ok). I am doing a climbing trip out west in August for the first time and the things I need to practice/learn are crack climbing and multi-pitch, so those would be my preferences, but I'm flexible. Let me know if you want to meet up, thanks!

You were right Crossing. Went the safe north this morning. Arrived at 630, climbed for 2 1\2 hours before the sun hit the rock. It was beautiful.

Eric, lots of what you are looking for there. I parked at chestnut grove? Easy walk down and back.

@ERIC I'll climb with you bro.   Have all necessary equipment with a moderate skill level in top roping and have never been afraid to venture out of my comfort zones with climbing.

I would love to see birdsboro/stovers/water gap/area in general. I've been working at a summer camp for the previous 2 summers with their outdoor department and haven't climbed in the area before. At that job I learned the basics and did some sport climbing setups in the Keene and high peaks area of the Dacks with kids and teens. Other than that, I'm mostly a gym climber with a full top rope setup and crash pad with tags attached. 5.8/5.9 and V2, but not all gyms are the same. Down to learn more, see more of this area, and meet new people. 609-306-4048

R. Stover? Yeah that place svcks, it is not worth the time to mention , Phone booth? Obnoxious Partner. . .  But what's this living in Ct? Now ? 

when & where in Nj did you live and why is The Cliff at Sealy's pond on Diamond Hill road , between Rt22 & Rt 78 not on every bodies radar?

Edit6/29, 

The 'Princeton' Boulders, = Sourlands!? I've got black & white's,

pictures from the "save the boulders" effort from the late '80s, I'll have to look for 'em.

Tylerpratt · · Litchfield, Connecticut · Joined Feb 2016 · Points: 40

Yes, I live in Litchfield.

I lived in Princeton NJ for a few years. Had some fun at the sourlands for sure though.
