Circuit is a bouldering area in Gerber Park in Pennsylvania, set among a cluster of climbing spots within a short walk of one another. The name Circ Mantel points to the mantel route here, a boulder problem that fits into the bouldering focus of the area. The climbing at Circuit runs from V0- up to V8, with most problems sitting around V4. Among the routes are Circ Mantel, a V0- boulder problem with a cold school first ascent in the late 1970s or early 1980s, and the Slopey Circ Arete, an old-school V7-. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Middletown show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 66°F, while July peaks near 87°F. Winter brings snow on several days a month from December through February. Herr Brothers and Moby's and Friends are both about 0.1 mile away, and Breadloaf & Immediate Vicinity is about 0.2 mile off. For a change from bouldering, the Mason-Dixon Trail lies roughly 7.4 miles away.
