Climbing Near East York, Pennsylvania

Decent bouldering area just outside of York on the north side of Codorus Creek. There are easy and moderate problems on the bridge abutment on the old road on the north side of the creek.About a hundred yards west in the old quarry proper there is some bouldering and top roping.Since I haven't been there for years, I have asked a climber friend in Lancaster to visit Blackbridge and to let me know what is still accessible and climable in the old quarry.  When I get some current info about the quarry,  I'll add a couple toprope problems that we did in the 70s if they are not overgrown or otherwise inaccessible.  Approach from Blackbridge Rd. Near the intersection with Black Gum Ct.

First major area you encounter from the bottom entrance. Tricky slabs or burly roofs. Hike about 1/4 of a mile from the bottom entrance.

Found along the orange rectangle trail that is popular with mountain bikers. The majority of problems are set back off the trail and keeps you quiet hidden. A variety of easy to intermediate problems abound here. Pebbles are a bit smaller than other areas and tend to pop a bit more. From the Gray Squirrel parking lot with the blue playground, walk south along the trail 5 with a few reddish orange blazed biking paths on the left. Turn onto the orange rectangle trail (5b) and hike for 5-10 minutes till you encounter the cluster.
