At times I see continued reference to Ghost Town Trail bouldering near Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I also hear about Paint Rocks in that same region. At one point the Ghost Town (and G2) area was added to MP, but has been ‘temporarily removed’. This was over a year ago now and nothing has been added by way of any updates.

Anyone have any info about the climbing around the Johnstown PA area or the current status of the accessibility?

Ghost Town is unpublished per the land owner’s requirements. G2 is further southwest and can be accessed via the state game lands near Blacklick. I’ve been there and it’s not hard to find but I can’t remember well enough to give directions. I believe you park at the end of Schoolhouse rd and follow the access roads trending northeast and uphill. That’s the best I can do.

We used to boulder at a place called Wolf’s Rocks east of Windber on 56 in the Gallitzen State Forest.
