Access Issue: Previously Private Land. Recently transitioned to a PA State Park. Climbing is not yet permitted.
Details
SCPC is trying to work with DCNR to ensure climbing is approved as an activity in this new park. Climbers have been visiting this crag for decades and are currently still climbing on the cliff. If you choose go, keep a low profile, respect the land, leave no trace, be kind to other user groups, be cautious about loose rock, and DO NOT install any fixed anchors at the cliff. SCPC will be installing rappel anchors as the plan progresses. Remove all webbing or cord when you leave. Thank you!
Description
The crack in the center of the gully (aka the Terrarium Wall) to the left of Jungle Book. Climb the obvious vertical crack through an overhang to the top. Hexes and nuts work well in the irregularly-shaped crack. Good horizontal placements for very small cams. Large cams below and above the overhang. Enjoy the exposure on jugs as you pull the overhang. Descend from the rap station at the top of the gully.
Named for the charming mud, moss, and millipedes characteristic of this section of Castellon.
Location
In the center of the Terrarium Wall, to the left of the large left-facing open book.
Protection
Standard rack. #4 Camalot. Hexes for the weird vertical crack.
