I for one thought it was a well-edited and accurate depiction of a scene typical of many areas I've been to around the country.








Yes, I know. I should go to some different areas. I do.

Breakneck Rocks is a small outcropping of gritstone in the shadow of the Chestnut Ridge in southwestern Pennsylvania. The main cliff hosts a handful of easy to moderate sport routes ranging in height from 50 to 80 ft. The sport climbing is typical of the region -- vertical faces that are technical, balancy, and reachy. You can see many a noob pianoing their fingers desperately toward distant peanut crimps. The bouldering is a different story. Below the cliffline rests mossy house-sized boulders in a talus field. Every line looks futuristic. The landings are horrendous razor-edged rocks. The long slab topouts are covered in centuries of moss. The lines are blocky, pocked, angular, epic, steep, tall, and perfect. It would require a full season of top-rope cleaning and mondo-stacking to develop it properly. What little has been developed is scary, powerful, and precise. But down in the valley an evil hangs in the air like thick grey fog. It reminds me of Deliverance or that episode of X-files where those rednecks fuck their mom who lives under the bed. It's a mobile home cracked in half with the insulation sticking out. It's an old washing machine in the mud. Shady rednecks give you the eye. Babies smoking cigarettes. That's Breakneck Rocks. A world apart. When I bouldered there, no lie, I packed a machete. Bitches don't even know.

One time, I stepped in human poop there in my sandals. Then I realized, THIS IS WHY YOU ALWAYS WEAR SOCKS AT BREAKNECK ROCKS.


Maybe I should rename the thread Area Descriptions That Will Make You Quit Climbing...

Natty has a point, this place is going way soft. Already been there a while but we're reaching Barney and Friends levels now.

If you're going soft, you're not eating enough sauerkraut.
