Go On A Rock Climbing Adventure At A Former Rock Quarry In Pennsylvania

Adventure is never far away when you live in PA, whether you’re a hiker, a biker, or a rock climber. We’re pretty fortunate to have quite a few places to go rock climbing throughout the state. Birdsboro Climbing Quarry in Pennsylvania, however, just might be one of the most unique places of them all to go rock climbing. It’s definitely worth checking out.

A former rock quarry has become a playground for rock climbers, who have more than 125 climbing routes to climb. Routes are rated according to difficulty.

Birdsboro Climbing Quarry, near Reading, has been a popular destination for climbers (and even hikers) since 1993 and is run by the Birdsboro Climbing Association.

All rock climbers are welcome to climb the routes, although if you plan to climb, you must follow the guidelines.

Leave all routes as you have found them, for example, and all climbers must agree to a waiver of liability before setting off on their first climb.

The quarry, in fact, is managed by the Birdsboro Municipal Authority, which means all climbers must leave designated areas if law enforcement or employees of Birdsboro come by to use the shooting range.

Memberships to the Birdsboro Rock Climbing Quarry are available with proceeds going to maintaining and developing the climbing area. A basic membership is $10 while a premium membership is $30 annually. Both provide a key to the bathroom facilities.
