In October 1999, days before his wedding, Chris E. was back in PA
and sent his traverse problem on the eastern side of the creek.
The result was Frigidaire Cold Control V8/9. What's that area
called? Ecksandstein?

Hey Dean, sites coming well, though you think you could put up
some V grades on the GI stuff? I could go for an ego boost

I just moved back to PA and I climb until the snow comes. I need
a few partners willing to attack the rock. If anyone is still
going to the mills, please let me know and I would love to hook
up with you. Thanks, Dan

Visited The Mill last week and found it a pretty good time. Did
everything I could see at birthday and the main wall. TR'ed some
too. Ross was fun and played on Casino but found myself wanting
more than one spotter!!! What's up with that prob? I hear a hold
broke. It seems much harder than V3 when I tried......

Nice site guys. I am rather a newbee to the world of rock
climbing and repeling so I need some tech advise on all these
fancy words, "Project Boulder Problem" and
"Crag." Well lets just say i need to take lessons....
The few times I did climb it was top roped. Made me feel good.
Anyhow, there are some rocks in Derry twp on the ridge called
High Rocks, They got shut down I think. Well one day we had two
ropes top roped and were both over the side when we heard beer
bottles being thrown down over the edge. Needless to say we were
one for the day. And I think we arn't aloud there any more? Well
it used to be a nice place!?!? Keep the rocks comin....

Nice job on the site. Although I don't do much climbing at The
Mills (the drive is just too far when I've got all the rock I'd
ever need within a 1/2 hr. of home and the shop). Its nice to see
someone else doing their part to inform local climbers of the
potential that SWPA has. It amazes me to see the crowds at
Krahlick Rocks on the weekends when there's sooooo much unclimbed
and better rock out there. I hope that local climbers take the
iniative to explore the woods of our area and find the great
stuff thats out there. Its well worth the effort! Keep up the
good work! I'm sure I'll see you on the rock soon.

Comments:
I've been going to "The Mill" since about 1967. A lot
of broken time due to school & service. I'm old and out of
shape but bring Scouts up for intro to climbing regularly. I've
been doing that since the 70's. My biggest problem is "Looky
Loo's." I've seen women in heels & dresses, little kids
unescorted, and drunken teens just push through us while we're
belaying. I've also had them tamper with gear, and hang
precariously directly over a climber enroute up. (I've also
administered first aid and helped carry some of the same out of
there). Any warning signs available to stay clear of climbers,
cliff edges, no climbing unless equiped. It's amazing; you can't
put your toe in the water at a state park, but you can do
anything on their rocks. I fear injury to a non-climber will
eventually restrict us all. I love the proposals listed from
Access Fund. How can we help get some of these things done? As a
Scouting organization we are continually involved in outdoor
community service projects. I write good letters to politicians
too.

Comments:
Good to see that the "common" climber is vilified by
bouldering the unglamourous piles. Only then can truly great
lines like "Mantlevention" and "Traverse of the
Sodomites" be appreciated. Koodos to those Mill bouldering
greats (you know who you are) for downplaying what must be an
incredible affirmation of climbing enormity.

I've only visited the Mills once with Matt Durst. I was impressed
with the quality of bouldering there, I want to go back when tha
weather gets warmer. Is there anything wrong with getting a
stiffy over a boulder problem? Livesey Rocks in Wissahickon gorge
outside of Philly PA has such an effect on me, check it out if
you're in the Philly area.
