Southeastern Lowlands

5 Miles Away | 941 Routes

These are the lowlands and rolling hills of southeastern Pennsylvania, south of the Lehigh Valley; geographically speaking, the Piedmont. Philadelpia and its suburbs are the busiest metropolitan area in the state, and many of its climbers issues forth from here, to learn to climb in these humble local crags. Some are found along the banks of the Delaware River and the Schuykill. Some local favorite spots are Stover for trad pro, the Bird for bolted pro, Haycock for woodland bouldering, and Philly for being tempted by buildering, especially when you've just played a game of Assassin's Creed. See specific areas for details. See a Bat on a Route, Give Us a Shout! Hey climbers, the Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance of Climbers (EPAC) is working with Rob Schorr at Colorado State University 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!Rob SchorrZoologist, Colorado Natural Heritage Program (warnercnr.colostate.edu/rschorr/)Director, Climbers for Bat ConservationRobert.schorr@colostate.edu

The Edge (Closed)

9 Miles Away | 26 Routes

The Edge is located on private property and is currently CLOSED TO CLIMBING.  The landowner does not tolerate trespassing and climbers have been asked to leave.  If you would like to help resolve access issues here and elsewhere, please consider joining and donating to the  Access Fund. The following info is for historical purposes only:I ( Tom Stryker ) contacted a friend who co-authored an old Stover guide with me, and he did have our Edge notes, and graciously organized and mailed them to me. There are 32 trad routes that were led ground up on gear and a few pins. Mel Hamel, Tom Moffatt and I , had our run of the place, and climbed the lines we could with the gear we had at the time.The original sequence numbers will be a little difficult to use as we always approached from the downstream end (climber's right), but the upstream end (climber's left) is used now.Only four climbs had fixed gear at the time, between 1981 and 1983, two each in the area behind the Great Wall, one pin on Fruition and one on Thunder Road. In some cases small cams which were not available at the time may allow ascents of climbs where the pitons disappeared, but use some care, particularly on the Rotwand, as we were in deck territory every time we went out the the nose to work on getting some gear.As I understand it, some routes have been bolted on the Great Wall. The most common center route on this wall has been led on gear at 5.8 X. We did some other routes that were pretty bold, and I am concerned these would get bolted unknowingly. If you are planning to bolt more routes there I would appreciate any opportunity to fill you in on existing trad routes there.Buttresses and routes, from upstream to downstream.Rotwand* The RotwandGreat Wall* EB, Phone Home* Great Wall Nose* Great Wall (center trad line)* Great Wall right variationLeaning Pillar* Pro-found* Right Hand DriveButtress 8* Strapaducktome * Bondage and DisciplineButtress 7* Don Genero* Would I?* HarelipButtress 6* Three Stooges Go Climbing* Thunder Road* Simple SoloCentral Buttress (Buttress 5)* Monster Mash* Tryin' Times* Stop the Presses* Central Buttress Direct* Knuckle Sandwich* The Nose That RoaredButtress 4 is short and has no routes.Buttress 3* Shattered* FlatteredFruition Buttress (Buttress 2)* Limburger Groove* Self Cleaning* Fruition* TuitionButtress 1* Dead Men Don't Eat Roughage* Mel's Route* The Tongue That Swung The Edge is on private property and currently Closed
