10 Resources
For every Pennsylvania Climber
We compiled a list of resources we thought would be handy for PA climbers. Since we have a team of climbers around the keystone state doing guidebooks, we had an abundance of resources we thought will help to find crags, look for up-to-date access issues and other crag beta.

1. State Maps
From Google Earth to the PA Gazetteer, PA maps offer clues to “secret” PA crags.
PA state maps such as geologic maps for the keystone state, hiking maps, and especially the PA Gazetteer pinpoint large geologic features like cliffs and outcrops. This is a great way to find crags that are not listed on websites and that are not on most climber’s radar yet. Google Earth is also a good tool to use but you need to comb over large areas and you have to look with leaves off the trees in the sat images you study. I still have a Gazetteer with over 300 areas pinpointed in PA that i’ve been to since I bought the atlas in the late 90s!
