Start below the Pyramid Formation. Head up and right to the right-most base of the Pyramid. Get into the left leaning corner (that is the right side of the Pyramid) and climb the hands to offwidth crack to the pinnacle (obvious) end and take the arete/face to the big belay/rappel tree.

Scramble up about 20’ through big blocks, staying to the left of the triangle shaped rock. At the diagonal finger crack, head right onto the arete. Climb up, go between the pine trees, then pull the notch (crux, #3 cam). Climb the slab, trending left. Top out at a pine just above the protruding boulder.

1. Climb straight up through several poorly protected bulges aiming for the large pine tree halfway up the cliff. 70' 2. Climb up then through the notch in the overhang to the top. 40'

Same start as Guillotine, but after the blocky ramps, follow the big slabby ramp up left about 20 ft towards a notch. Pull through the notch (small cam for pro), then head left to the pine tree. Belay there or join Gunks Jr to the top.

P1: Diagonal up and left through big blocks, ending at a large pine below the headwall, about 40’ up. P2: Head straight up for about 20’, staying to the left of the features. At the flat rock on the right, diagonal up and right to a notch. Pull the notch then head up and right. Continue through the fist crack / face to the big ledge below the broken rock.

 Rappel: scramble climber’s right down the gully to the rappel tree above Raven.

Start up & right past tree, then aim for notch & overhang. With careful pro and creative footwork, move up through the notch. Finish at the good tree to the right.

From the Guillotine belay tree. Go up, staying right of the features. At the top of the corner, traverse left and up to the top and big belay tree.

Traditionally done in two pitches but could be done in one.    P1: Climb the corner (+/-25ft) to the obvious ledge. 

  P2: traverse all the way left to a Pine Tree. Belay and rappel from this tree. 

  Second pitch is unique but fun.

AKA Get the Point AKA Joint Point   Jam, cling, and swing out the crack to the top. The crux is making the first move. Don't look down or it becomes 5.9

P1 - climb the first pitch of Monkey See, Monkey Do. 25ft 

  P2 - aid climb the right angling, overhanging crack. Once above the overhang turn left and head to the tree. 35ft

P1 - climb up easy, slabby terrain to the bottom right side of the corner 

  P2 - traverse left and climb the inside of the overhanging corner.  

  Tip: on P2 there is a obvious feature you can sling for pro.

P1 - climb to the bottom of the obvious West (right) facing wall. 

  P2 - climb the clean(er) crack (there's several features but this crack you can clearly make out with the naked eye from the ground, its the obvious clean(er) splitter on the West facing wall).

From the belay tree, traverse left on big ledge, then up the exciting and exposed vertical section to the tree.

Start by following the crack up to the overhang. Traverse right onto good feet, then up. Finish by angling up and right through the overhang.

A wonderfully fun climb. The second pitch is the "money" pitch for sure.  

  P1 - climb straight up (make your way up) to a two bolted belay that sits just below the overhanging rock.  

  P2 - you start immediately pulling the first overhang (protected by a bolt) and climb straight up through two vertical sections to the top. There is a large evergreen +/-15ft back from the cliffs edge (probably slung with webbing but don't count on it!) to belay and rappel from. 

  Use your best judgement for the descent. 1 60m won't make it in one rapp. Use the bolted belay as a second rappel point. Two 60m will make it in one rapp.

P1 - climb up to a block below an obvious slighly overhanging crack 

  P2 - use the crack and with some fancy footwork (HEEL-a-peel) pull the overhang and continue up to the top.

Climb up the blocky vegetated ramps. Continue past the sharp flake and head right through the notch to the pine.

The Southern and obvious buttress. It is the longest, highest, and most climbed upon feature there. A handful of multi-pitch climbs are here including some fun single pitch climbs.  

  This place offers some interesting climbing. Some routes offer unique (ackward) moves/sections and there is no shortage of R rated climbs. This place offers some fun "adventure" climbing. 

  Albeit close to Harrisburg, PA this place is no joke (loose rock, weathered rapp stations, free hanging rappels, multi-rappels, etc). Bring extra webbing/cord to create or back-up existing rappel areas. Honestly, depending on what you choose to do here, just bring the same kit/rack you would for anywhere else multi-pitch adventure climbing. 

  The approach trail once at the base of South Buttress is fairly steep, not terrible but be prepared to walk up hill for sure.
