Caves Trail

Caves Trail is a bouldering area on State Game Land 157 in Pennsylvania, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among several climbing names in the same area, including The Big Area, The Caves and Grovelfest, each about a tenth of a mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the routes range from V0- to V10 on the V scale. For timing, the most comfortable stretch runs from late spring into early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Bucksville weather station put May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with July warming to about 85°F. That station sits roughly 400 feet below the bouldering, so temperatures on the rocks run cooler. The area has 37 bouldering routes, and a few stand out. Ice Cream is a V1, Nadja a V2, Novocaine a V4, and Rocking Chair Direct a V10.
