Additional Information: Abundant cracks and features make this traditional area make this North-East facing crag a dream to climb at. Cliffs range from 30-140ft tall. Park was founded in 2022. Prior to this, climbers worked with the private owners for access but was always limited to a handful of people for a very short season. These cliffs have seen intermittent development but require more traffic to clean the routes up. Stay tuned for trail days, clean ups, and events at SRSP in the future.

SCPC is working with DCNR to ensure climbing is approved as an activity in this new park. Climbers have been visiting this crag for decades and are currently still climbing on the cliff. If you choose go, keep a low profile, respect the land, leave no trace, be kind to other user groups, be cautious about loose rock, and DO NOT install any fixed anchors at the cliff.
