Description

Bilger's Rocks, in western PA, is owned and maintained by a local association. It's a "rock city" of Pennsylvania age sandstone, with many bouldering and easy to set top-rope climbs of 30-40 ft. The rock is clean and solid. There are no established sport routes; there is only one old bolt anchor on one northern rock face. It is mostly shaded, with camping, concessions, and rest rooms available on the property, adjacent to the rock areas.

Getting There

Take route 219 North through Grampian, PA. Approx 2 miles out of town, turn right at sign. Continue 1 mile to parking area on left. Short walk to climbing area.

Bat Conservation | How You Can Help

See a Bat on a Route, Give Us a Shout!

Hey climbers, one of our SCPC members is working with Rob Schorr at Colorado State to help him spread the word about his bat research. Here’s a message from him about this important work and how, we as climbers, can help.

"Climbers for Bat Conservation is working with climbers to understand bat ecology and why bats choose certain cracks and flakes. We’re a collaboration between climbers, bat biologists, and land managers to understand where bats roost and where large populations may reside. We are interested in finding bats because of a new disease called white-nose syndrome (whitenosesyndrome.org) which has killed millions of bats in North America. This collaboration has identified bat roosts throughout the U.S., and as far away as Norway and Bulgaria. CBC was developed by biologists who climb and they are advocates for climbing access and bat conservation.

So, if you see bats while climbing, please let us know by emailing us at climbersforbats@colostate.edu, or visiting our website to learn more. climbersforbats.colostate.edu."

Thank You!
