Worst climbing crag in America.

I keep looking... I haven’t found a bad place yet.

Ralph Stover State Park, PA. 

Music blaring, dogs barking, drones buzzing and kids screaming.  That makes the worst.

Anywhere in NJ. 
Anywhere in CT if you don’t like craprock, uh, I mean, traprock. 

I prefer Stover to Delaware Water Gap

Suburban Crag near RR is pretty scrappy

ORG was a disappointment

 I do hate North Table. It smells like shit, the rock is shit, in the warmer seasons it is full of rattlesnakes - but yes in the winter it is the best, nearby choice. The only thing I like about it is that it makes me appreciate other places. That's it. 

Potholes, in central WA, near Othello. A long drive for stumpy routes, uninspiring scenery, poison ivy, and lots of rattlesnakes. I’m not afraid of the snakes, but there were so many, everywhere, that my buddy and I left after two routes.

It isn’t crowded, though.

Meh, it does have a brewery...

Any place called "The Quarry Wall" .... except our beloved crack dumpster at NTable. Doesn't count.

How about just "any place with 'quarry' in the name"?

C’mon kiddos, total upside to quarry routes is that they’re ever-changing driven by freeze-thaw cycles (our beloved Birdsboro in the northeast is anyway) and so...BOOM! New routes every spring! Will your proj still be there? You don’t know. Better get it done that fall. Lights a fire in all our hearts. We can all participate in the ceremonial spring cleaning of the routes too; everyone gets to feel the excitement of pulling their own piece out of the wall and getting some actual use out of those helmets. Ohh what a way for belayers to learn hyper-awareness and climbers to learn not to wrench on everything. 

Will a microwave-sized block with a bolt on it end up in your lap? Maybe. We’ll just re-bolt and name the new route “Bye Bye Bolt”. I have awe-inspiring videos of Volkswagen-sizes blocks being trundled from those walls during a particularly ambitious spring clean.

Feeling bored by your local classic climbs that have been the same for years? Have all the moves dialed in? Ahh, the beauty of a densely-fractured quarry. A lifetime of cleaning and exploration.

Adventure climbing at it’s...messiest. That’ll learn ya some good life lessons;) I love my messy home crag and have left a lot of blood sweat and tears there. In all seriousness, I’m happy to have it in any form, sweaty mosquitos and all.

Quincy Quarries for “so bad it’s fun (with the right attitude).”

I took a girl named Joni to North Table Mountain once. She hated it so much she told me never to take her there again.

The comment left by a visitor (not a local) is scathing - seems there are a lot of things to turn you off from visiting:

That reviewer just seems spoiled 

+2 for CO being a giant choss pile. If it wasn’t for N Table Mountain I would have moved out long ago

I was gonna say quincy. Good God the graffiti there is the worst thing ever. Makes it so fucking slippery

Is that like how abstinence is the only form of safe sex?

Mission gorge is not the worst, ORG is slightly disappointing and for the winner... Porcelain Wall on the e side of Mt. Potosi... I almost just died there from that shit Rock.  

Index, WA....don't go there.

Lots of votes already for North Table and I'm inclined to agree. Several really good cracks there, and a few face routes too, but IMO the ridiculous grid bolting really takes away from the area. Worst I've ever seen.

That being said, it is indeed warm there, and the trails seem very well designed.
