Access Issue: A portion of Near Trapps has been closed to climbing
Details
A portion of the Near Trapps has been closed to climbing. This includes land below the cliff to above cliff line and starts approximately at Eenie Meenie and continues south about 200 feet. Climbers are asked to respect the no-trespassing signs and advised to use the access trail marked in orange blazes. This trail starts at the intersection of the Blue trail over the top of the Nears and the first Red trail. Follow the orange blazes east and downhill from this junction to arrive at the far (south) end of the Nears.

Description
Climb to the ledge that is a short distance up. Move up the face to good holds (crux), then ascend the low-angled slab to a pine tree.
Location
The Tree-Filled Chimney is the left side of The
White Pillar, a large block leaning against the cliff with an obvious crack,
Harvest Moon, on its right face. Approximately 75 feet or so left of the Chimney there is a dirty, open book. Just to the left, there is a small ledge a short distance up, with some grass and blueberry bushes on it. There is a short, left-facing corner that starts at the ledge.
