Access Issue: As of 4/5/2022, State Game Lands 51 and 138, including this climbing area, are closed to rock climbing activities. Details

See the announcement here: media.pa.gov/Pages/game-com…. For a statement from Southwestern Pennsylvania Climbers Coalition, see swpacc.org/news/. To join us in our efforts to reopen our climbing areas, we ask that, rather than contacting the Game Commission directly, please contact us at info@swpacc.org.

Description

This is a really cool route, and if you like crack climbing, it's worth aiding through the crux just to reach the crack above. Start by stemming your way up to reach the 2nd bolt. Make a dyno to a poor hold and then clip the 3rd bolt (crux). From here head right to the point where the arete meets the crack above. Follow the crack to the top. As of 8/10, these are still the original bolts. The bolt protecting the crux is a spinner, use caution.

Location

As you approach the Far Block from the main climbing area, this climb is directly on the opposite side of the block from where you first meet up with the block. The easiest approach is to follow the block on the right side and head past a very overhanging wall until you reach a dihedral under a large roof.

Protection

3 bolts, hand sized gear for the top crack. There are 2 bolt anchors on top above the next climb to the right. These are old bolts, use caution. There are plenty of options to lower from a tree on top.
