Description (POSTED - No Trespassing)

Also known as Lewis Rocks and hosts the classic Bankrobbers Cave. This area has a dozen or more boulders of good quality.

The land is owned by Tumbling Run Game Preserve. This is a private hunting preserve and the borders of the property are heavily posted with "No Trespassing" signs. Please consider another climbing destination to avoid any issues with landowners and hunters.

SCPC is consistently working towards gaining and preserving access to our climbing areas in the central part of the state. Feel free to contact them with further questions, updates, and ways that you can get more involved with climbing stewardship and advocacy.
