Ebright Azimuth is a climbing area in southeastern Pennsylvania, right across the state line from Delaware. The nearest town is Westbrite, Delaware, about a tenth of a mile away. The area sits close to the Brandywine River corridor, which makes it an easy addition to a day of hiking or climbing on the Delaware side. The climbing here is a single traditional route, The South Face Indirect, a 5.2 that was first climbed by Danny Deckers and Chris Perrin. It is the only route listed in the area, and it is a straightforward trad climb with a single grade. For the most comfortable conditions, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wilmington run to highs around 71°F in May and 75°F in September, while July highs reach about 84°F. Winter is cold, with January highs near 38°F and lows around 24°F. Nearby options include the Rocky Run and Hidden Pond hikes, both about 3 miles away, and the Brandywine Trail, about 4 miles off. For more climbing, Rockwood Park / Greenway Trail is roughly 4.3 miles away.
