Additional Information: Chickies Rock is one of Pennsylvania's climbing treasures. With a quick approach, easy access to top-rope anchor locations and a variety of well-protected two- and three-pitch trad routes up to 200’ it makes for an ideal choice for a day of rock-climbing. In 2016, SCPC began partnering with Lancaster County Parks and Recreation to assist with climbing education, risk management, and conservation. Over several years, SCPC has been working to re-establish and clean established routes that have been grown in for years. Stay tuned for trail days, clean ups, and events at Chickies in the future.
