WAAAAAAA. i can't tresspass at a place i i could once before.
Im sure there is not contact to happen with the wires, but hey after the big lawsuit from the kids who tresspassed on the railroad, climed onto a box car got close, without touching and zapped. I wouldn't want you near them eithe

I have to agree on this one with the trespassing issue. Even though I used to climb alot at Chickes Rock Park. Everbody is "sue happy" so I do not blame the railroad at all.

Those rocks in Conestoga Twp. have been off limits since the mid 90's. It will be interesting to see who is going to pay for the liability insurance when and if they open the old line for hiking and so on. Those wires run on down to Phila. and I don't see them coming down anytime soon. I guess the taxpayers will be footing this insurance bill when they open the trail.

I used to climb there all the time in the 90's and have climbed most of the routes. There is really no way to have contact with the wires mentioned in the article. I respect the fact that the railroad doesn't want to get sued, but I recall Chiques is 'climb at your own risk' and there has been no recourse taken from any of the accidents that happened there. I don't think the accidents actually involved climbers v people being irresponsible and venturing where they shouldn't.

I thought "bolting" of climbing route was not allowed. We never did that while climbing at Chickes in '80's and '90's. Although there were some existing bolts that we used, we knew they had been there for quite a while. As a matter of fact the last time I was there about 2 - 3 years ago they were still there. Just a question.
