Description:
From MountainProject
Birdsboro is a former quarry with the most sport climbs of any open area in eastern Pennsylvania, on variable quality diabase rock. It’s a former quarry located on the north side of Trap Rock in Birdsboro, PA. There are dozens of bolted sport routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.14. A single 60m rope does fine for most climbs here. Only the long slabs on the far wall are two real pitches.
In addition to the information on MountainProject, Birdsboro Routes is a digital guidebook with Gunks Apps and is the latest source of complete information.
The Birdsboro Climbing Area is public land owned by Robeson Township and managed by the Birdsboro Municipal Authority. Access and recreational usage are granted to us as a privilege not a right. As the land managers all users are required to observe all posted signs and regulations. Please obey these rules. Remember, climbers are guests here! it’s nice to reciprocate and patronize local merchants on your way in and out of the crag.
