... old B/W negative prints from "days gone by"... 'Goodman' climbing above... nothing really difficult (mostly moderate) - but steep - "tons of fun"...
... good place to "get your head together" for "bigger stuff"...
... a young 'buddy Matt'...
"buffed"...
... if it wasn't for the large horizontal ledge about a quarter way up the wall (below this guy), would give the place ten stars for "excitement"... so... only six... maybe seven at best...
... some effort was exerted "rigging" the place over the years - top rope & rap anchors - as well as "gardening" and trail building (many times over)... 'buddy Matt' above...
... hey - right across the "valley" on the next rise over to the west is a small crag - has a pretty cool traverse... if over there and facing "wall left" ...traverse the lower horizontal crack (face climbing with decent gear) to the right... maybe 50ft to the end... climb 10ft to 15ft to rig a "hanging belay" below the small roof... switch leads and traverse the roof back left - again, maybe 50ft...all the way protecting the upper horizontal crack below the roof ...to exit (step off) on to a small shelf... not bad... 'Goodman' (above) on the lower traverse... walls maybe 40ft tall...
... if headin' up there, please respect the land - is private as well as PA Gamelands...
