My boyfriend recently took me to an old climbing area called Peavine, right on the Susquehanna River in southwester PA. It's BEAUTIFUL with lots of great bouldering and old bolted routes. RC.com has some info but no specifics. Basically, it's terribly overgrown. It has EXTREME potential to be a great crag, but it's indesperate need of a weedwacker. If anyone is interested in cleaning this place up or has any information on who to speak to about doing so please get back to me (etrockerchik) as soon as possible. This place is beautiful. Right on the water with lots of swimming, scrambling, and hiking. There are a few fire pits and it's great for a day trip. PLEASE PLEASE help clean this place up. It's beautiful and a shame to be going to waste. Thanks so much and I hope to hear from all of you. etrockerchik

Access is a bit sketchy. It is on private land.

In reply to: but it's sooo beautiful. how do I find out who owns the land? You go to the county courthouse, find the correct office, and look up the tax records for the site on the tax map. It will provide a parcel number and owner's name/address for the land in question. TS

Ray, Rob & I hiked up to Rattlesnake Cliff today, and what a gorgeous day it was. The climbs are not real tall but very hard. I got a real hard workout. Wondrous! God's in His heaven, all's right with the world.

etrockerchik...you are going to upset a lot of people. The access is sketchy. Only those "in the know" climb there...

Since when has access been a problem? I thought it was on power company land and as open to recreation as the rest of the gorge. Is it posted for trespassing? I haven't actually been there in a long time, but remember most of the brush was poison ivy, and copperheads slithering around too. Speaking of Susquehanna features, has anyone else ever looked for problems at the sculpted diabase in the river south of TMI, on the Lancaster side? Same Tkd dike as as GS, but potholed and boulderized by glacial floods. Some very surreal rocks, access from the boat launch north of Falmouth, depending on water level. I went there twice and did more scrambling and picture taking than climbing, but remember seeing some good size boulders scattered here and there, and water problems.
