Description

A few boulders off the Appalachian trail near Wind Gap. I've found two decent boulders, and there might be a few more. This area might have been climbed before, but info is scant.

Getting There

Park at the Appalachian Trail Parking lot at Wind Gap. Cross Route 115/North Broadway to go "southbound" on the Appalachian Trail. Hike up for a bit, until you reach an obvious fork in the trail. Head left at the fork, down the mountain, and sort of towards highway 33. The trail should terminate in a T, and you should take another left (the rightward trail gives you access to 8th street Wind Gap, an easier way to get out if need be.) You will eventually find yourself at the clearing under some powerlines. The boulders are in this clearing. Alternatively, you could turn off at the powerline clearcut before the first fork, and you might find more boulders that way.
