New Bolted Anchors in the Near Trapps

New bolt rappel anchors have been installed in the Near Trapps on the climbs “Harvest Moon” and “Falled on Account of Strain”

The GCC has been working with the Mohonk Preserve to identify tree anchors and erosion slopes that have led to environmental degradation. We are thrilled that the Conservation Science team will be carrying out a study on tree health and slope erosion near new bolted anchors. We would like to continue to urge you to share the ideas of low-impact mindful climbing visits with people new to the area. Encourage visitors whenever possible use gear or bolted anchors as opposed to tree anchors.
