The Cave

The Cave is a bouldering area in Pennsylvania, about a mile from the town of Falmouth. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Creekside & The Split Boulders, Governor Stable and Breadloaf & Immediate Vicinity all within about a tenth of a mile. That makes it easy to pair with other climbs in the same stretch. The area is a bouldering destination, with nine routes listed, all rated on the V scale. The grades run from V0- to V10-, with Cave Wave at V6 and Finish Line at V10- as two of the more notable ones. Entrance Face is V5+ and J-Crack is V0+. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 78°F, while July averages about 87°F. The closest neighbors are the other climbing areas listed above, and the Herr Brothers area is about 0.2 miles away. For a change of pace, the Mason-Dixon Trail is about 7 miles off.
