Access Issue: Beginning February 1st and lasting until July 31st, a section of the Nockamixon Cliffs Natural Area in Delaware Canal State Park will be CLOSED TO ALL ACTIVITY. Closure information can be found at: epaclimbers.org/portfolio/t… Details

DCNR PUBLIC STATEMENT: Beginning February 1st and lasting until July 31st, a section of the Nockamixon Cliffs Natural Area in Delaware Canal State Park will be CLOSED ALL ACTIVITY. This closure is to protect an endangered species nesting area during its most sensitive time. As a governmental organization dedicated to land and environmental stewardship, it is our responsibility to ensure the best possible outcome for this species that has decided to nest in the area. In this case, recreation must take a backseat to wildlife conservation. Closed areas will be posted with signs; the closure is located in the middle of the cliffs, with areas at either end open to normal winter activities if conditions exist. Both Delaware Canal State Park and PA Game Commission officers will be enforcing this closure. Due to the species being protected by many laws, including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, failure to comply with the closures could lead to very hefty fines - up to $5,000. We appreciate the understanding from the ice climbing community, as we recognize that many of you are environmental stewards yourselves and want to see these creatures flourish. So I appreciate your patience as we enter into a new mode of operation, and I thank you for helping the species by obeying the closure.

Description

This Climb is in the Main Gully Amphitheater. It is a little harder then the Center Head wall and is to the left of it. This climb is reliable it comes in with the rest of Main Gully and leaves with it to.

Pitch 1: (WI 4- 40 ft ) Climb the first two pitches of Main Gully and continue slightly left. Climb up and about half way you will reach the crux of the climb, the pillar. The pillar is actually almost inset from the rest of the ice. Climb up to the top. There are no anchors at the top of this climb.

Descent: Walk (facing the climb) right to the Center Headwall where you will find chain anchors you can rap on.

Location

This climb is in the Main Gully Amphitheater. Climb the first two pitches of Main Gully. Instead of going slightly to the left and finishing on the Center Headwall which is how Main Gully finishes, go slightly to the right. About half way up you will see an inset pillar, thus the name of the climb " Center Pillar "
