This is a lead access crag. Most anchors must be led in order to be used. There are a few that can facilitate rappels. Do not cut trail to get to the top of the cliffs.
Access:
Climbing is now a recognized and approved activity at this park. Below is the agreement with DCNR.
Rock alterations by chipping, chiseling, sculpting, drilling, defacing, or gluing/epoxying of holds (hand and foot) is not permitted. This restriction also includes the practice of dry tooling, which involves using ice climbing tools on rock surfaces.
SCPC is the only entity that is allowed to install fixtures and will remove any non-SCPC owned or installed fixtures when doing routine maintenance. Rivets and pitons are not permitted.
Removing vegetation of any type to clear a climbing route is not permitted.
Temporary anchors may be used as long as they are removed after use.
Should a tree be used for climbing purposes, padding will be used to prevent the rope, sling, or chain from damaging the tree.
Chalk use should be minimized, used in a bag, and holds should be brushed off if heavily chalked.
Climbing or rappelling within a known habitat of any rare, threatened, or endangered plant or animal species or in areas determined by PA DCNR to be ecologically significant is not permitted.
PA DCNR may close entire formations or climbing routes permanently or on a temporary basis. Closures may include but are not limited to natural resource protection, unsafe conditions, or park maintenance activities.
Description
Upper pitch climb, good finish for Cries of the Corvid or even Odie After Dark if you Traverse left at the belay nook.
Start from the Corvid Ledge/Nook (alcove nestled on climbers left of this wall about 100' up, characterized by orangish rock and a roof above). Traverse up and right, briefly joining Blood Circle's second pitch before traversing left on jugs along the prominent roof. Go out to the tip of this roof and mantle up. Staying left on a blunted arete is better for the next bit because of suspect flakes on the face. Continue powering through this brief overhanging section on good holds (be critical of the ones you choose as some are wedged flakes). Finally pulling over onto the overlook ledges. Best to go higher up to build an anchor to keep from having to belay at your feet.
