Hey,
The 222/422 beltway is definately the way to go.Do not however go 176 to get to Birdsboro.Stay on 422 east until you get to 82 south,this is the road into Birdsboro,and the very one leading to the quarry.Take it accross the bridge into town,you will pass,as follows:Turkey Hill(gatorade&food),large foundry building(Birdsboro corp.)Town..Vinnies pizza on left,Dante's Depot,on right,Feed mill on left, baseball feild(little league), then the park will be on right(parking lot),bridge out sign(you're almost there),then a gate accross the road,follow the closed road,over two bridges,right at gravel road,up past old quarry building,left into TOP part of quarry.The LOWER part of the quarry isOUT OF BOUNDS and will result in arrest and confiscation of gear.
Hope to see you all there.
Climb Happy
Mitch

UMMMMM Anne,
I have been down that road like 4,974,815,664,843,124 times,and I KNOW that AFTER passing the gate where the road closed begins,it is TWObridges.
I'll run down there tomorrow after I get out of Town Hall and recheck.
Any bets on this one Anne?I feel pretty confident of my memory,adled as my mind is.
Luvya

Hi All,
I was at the quarry today,having crossed TWO bridges,after the gate.Bridges being the strucure spanning the creek,having grating and side rails.This does not count the little pipes under the roadway.
No Matter.
Anyhow,to the REAL reason I am posting.
I was at Town Hall this afternoon talking with the local"powers to be" in regards to the rules and regulations pertaining to the use of the "old quarry".The lower section is the town water supply,and as such is OFF LIMITS ,anyone caught in there will be,arrested,fined,and,all gear will be confiscated,and NOT returned.The upper section is the area used for climbing,allowed as a courtesy by the township(not a town park).
There is no prohibition on organized gatherings(within reason) and beta on the area MAY be published,posted,passed among climbers and non-climbers.
I was informed that rowdy,raucous,and otherwise unsavory,or dangerous behavior will not be tolerated.No thermo-nuclear detonations are allowed either.
I have given my word that this will be a civil gathering and vouched for the conduct and character of those who will be attending,as well as for that of the general membership of the climbing community.They will be watching us when we are there and this will reflect on the access to the quarry,as well as their attitude in regards to future events there.It will also show what kind of folks are the "Climbing Community"
WE ARE ON!!!!!!
Climb Happy
Mitch
p.s. Drink Grease Anne (he he)
