Chalk
Warning: Please try to minimally
use chalk. Be considerate of others by brushing off chalk
after you are done with a boulder problem. Large chalk
spots on the rock are unsightly and do get negative
reactions from Park Staff, boulderers and other
McConnell's visitors.

The Mills Bouldering
website brings the bouldering of the area surrounding
McConnell's Mill State Park, Pennsylvania to the web.
There are many boulder problems scattered through out the
park and beyond. The rock is a classic gritty sandstone
that offers vertical and traverse problems. The Rim Road
area, a rock city of sorts, is the most accessible and
the most popular bouldering area.
The Mill has captured the attention of several
generations of local climbers since the 1940's.
Bouldering as a sport in the Park can be traced back to
the early 1970's. Starting with Ross Boulder -
V0 established around 1970, through the rarely repeated Birthday
Boulder - V5, in 1981 to one of the latest additions
a thin traverse named The Big Gundown / The
Fridgidaire Traverse - V7/8 in 1999. One of the
newer of the many more obscure problems is a 12 foot
off-width ceiling crack named Gotta Want It -
V4.
