Safe Harbor North is a climbing area in Pennsylvania's Chestnut Grove Natural Area. It sits among a cluster of named climbing spots, so it works well as a base for exploring the surrounding crags. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Safe Harbor Dam weather station show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 87°F. Several climbing areas lie within a mile, including 2.0 International Area, 2.5 Alpine Wall (aka tall wall) and Balcony Rock. Turkey Hill Trail is about 1.7 miles away for a hike.
