Balcony Rock

Balcony Rock is a climbing area in Pennsylvania, set within the Manor Township Rail-Trail Acquisition on city land. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with xMann's Run just 0.1 mile away and Trailside 0.2 mile off, so it works well as one stop in a day of exploring the surrounding crags. The area has seven routes, five of which are sport climbs and two are top rope. Grades run from 5.6 to 5.11a, with Pinch the Pebble at 5.6 and Super Choss at 5.11a. ManBearPig, a 5.10d sport route, is another of the more challenging options. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Safe Harbor Dam weather station show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 87°F. Turkey Hill Trail is about 1.3 miles away for a hike, and the Pequea Trolley Trail is roughly 7 miles off.
