I hiked around the area and found some nice cliffs of varying rock quality. To my surprise, there are some bolts. Anyone have any beta?

I dont know about those bolts/routes. Did you ask Jim Bowers?

I just wanted to say I love your adventurous ways Doug! Keep hunting for new/more rock!

There's a guide service out of State College that takes clients there so it might be their stuff. New stainless bolts, painted. It doesn't look like Jim's. I found 2 sport and 2 TR routes, but there's a lot more rock there along the river I haven't looked at. It's a great spot, on game lands. PM me if you want to check it out. Keep on gettin it, man.

Josh Helke has been putting in sport lines. Maybe they're his?

Yep, Josh and Mike have put up a few in the past couple years. Josh is informally calling it the Parenthood crag. Nothing really hard -- mostly 5.7-5.9, with a 5.10 thrown in. There is one 5.11d. This information is all based on what I've heard from Josh -- get in touch with him for more information.
