Beam Rocks
Description
[Edit]Easy access and approach, ~25' - >60' high PA sandstone cliffs. ~100 yards long Cracked & broken sections, single pitch. Very shaded, damp, some areas to moss covered to climb, but where it is good....it's good ;) mix bag of holds, cracks, seams, veins, holes, if you know SWPA gritstone and sandstone you know what i'm talking about.
NO PERMANENT EQUIPMENT (no bolts). Top rope for majority of routes as trad on PA sandstone is not always possible but there are some cracks which possibly could be done trad. This being said rocks will be rough on gear, especially rope coming off the top so pack accordingly. A good brush and extended brush will also come in handy. Area is frequented by hikers throughout the day, especially the top main section, some climbers may feel uneasy and worried about their anchors being messed with or simply hikers unintentionally knocking down debris on the route, a 3 person team would be great, one on the rope, one to belay and another to keep watch up top. There are a fair amount of boulders worth messing around on. Some nice easy problems V0-V1 some V3's-V5 and a few >V6.
Not many serious boulderers currently hitting this place up, grades of listed problems are open for interpretation, send any of these? shoot me a message and let me know what you think, I'd be happy to change the grades listed to the consensus. On occasion you bump into some TR'ers here.
Yes I am sure all of this has been climbed before but there is no available info so it has to start somewhere.
Things to watch out for, poisonous plants, ivy, oak ect... Venomous snakes, Timber rattlesnakes (ask me how i know ;) )
