Access Issue: As of November 2021, there are new parking arrangements. Please follow this guidance. Details

The current parking area is now limited parking, subject to the following guidelines:

No parking weekdays before 4pm. (Use Saltbox Parking Area at these times).
Do not block pump station access gates at any time.
Be careful not to hit or disturb manholes or other infrastructure.

The Saltbox Parking Area is a new resource, available on weekdays and weekends. Don't bushwhack or create new trails from this area.

Torne Brook Road and the trailhead remain a no-parking area. This is to ensure access for emergency personnel.

Inconsiderate or illegal parking here could lead to permanent closure.

Description

Right side is vertical wall with routes 30-40 feet. Left end is moderate with routes 50-60 feet. Faces SouthEast.

Just a short easy scramble up from main trail. Lots of natural anchors near top of cliff to set up top-ropes.

Top-Rope: To get access to the top of the cliff, can scramble up around the right side.

warning: Loose rock is still a concern in this sector. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Getting There

First go to Basilisk, then scramble up easily around the right (east) side about 60 feet.

Or from Tower Wall, walk horizontal West (left) past Dave's Wall and the Lenapehocking rocks. See the cirque uphill right just before reaching Basilisk sector. Start scrambling up into that and Manayunk sector is along the left side.
