One fun move then the top out. Stand start using a polished crimp and the obvious rail, "pop" to the nice lip then mantle it up and out.

High Noon Sit Start

The High Noon boulder sits next to a waterfall in a tranquil setting. This is the only boulder found in this area (plenty in Rock Run as a whole) but it is worth visiting due to the setting and that the boulder has 5 distinct climbs on it. Perfect for a mid-day retreat. Climb and have lunch next to the waterfall! 

  The crux to the sit start is the 2nd/3rd move. After repositioning higher up on the starting left hand rail make a big move to a sharp jug with the right hand. From here make another large move with the left hand to the arête (sidepull). Reposition feet, drop the right hand into the sidepull closer to the middle of the climb and move on through the stand start up obvious features. 

  The setting is great, the climb is fun, but the starting foot is high and the second food is a bit polished.  

  I feel it is a v5 or v5+ (I've seen v6 for the sit on other sites as well as v4+). I give it this rating because I struggled with the high foot for the start. A more flexible person may rate it lower. A long reach helps. Regardless, it is a very fun climb in a setting not often seen in PA.

A very small but aesthetic area. The High Noon boulder sits right on a beautiful creek that has a cool waterfall or two right where the boulder sits.  

  Super easy access because the High Noon boulder is about 30 seconds from the bridge/parking pull-off.
