The Knobs (Rob's Knob) is a climbing area on State Game Land 051 in Pennsylvania, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among several named blocks, with Mungo Jelly Block, Main Block and Lickmaster Block all about 0.1 mile away. The area is known for its traditional routes, which range from 5.6 to 5.12a, and the hardest of them, Grillers in the Mist, was first climbed by Carl Samples. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 55°F, while winter highs stay in the 30s. The closest trails are the Lower Pimo Rocks Trail and Pimo Rocks Trail, both about 2.3 miles away. Kentuck Campground, roughly 4.9 miles off, offers a place to stay, and Redstone Creek, about 7.9 miles away, is an option for paddling.
