n. Beer Wall (Reservoir Level) is a rock climbing area in Pennsylvania, sitting about 0.2 miles from the community of Trap Rock. It's one of a cluster of named walls in the area, with c. Neophyte's Wall, d. Zorro Wall and Birdsboro Quarry all within a tenth of a mile. The routes here are all sport climbing, and they range from about 5.7 to 5.11a, so the area suits climbers with a solid foundation in the sport style. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Hopewell Morgantown show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with lows in the low 50s. That station sits roughly 300 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run a little cooler. Among the routes on this wall, I'm Lichen It is a 5.7, Blind Faith is a 5.11a, and Truffle Butter is a 5.9+ with a first ascent by John Peterson. For a change of pace, the Horse-Shoe Trail is about 1.6 miles away and the Schuylkill River Water Trail is about 6.4 miles away.
