Hey..
You have a cool site but you need to do some more research. Firstly, it would be pretty bold to claim FA’s anywhere in Philly. Some of these areas were published in the really really old (used to be sold in the ‘basecamp’ store where the first rock gym in downtown was - on Sansom St) PA climbing guide. All of those bridges are in there. I would also hesitate to say that the garage is unclimbed. Surely if it is unclimbed, you cant rate it.
Anyway.. nice site. It was cool walking down memory lane (used to climb in philly from 92-97) when I was going to school… then moved to cali!
Now the alps..
