Written by Mark “Indy” Kochte, with contributions in DE from local developers. Discover the hidden climbing gems of the Mid-Atlantic with this detailed guide to Delaware’s crags and boulders alongside the classic routes of Rocks State Park in northeast Maryland. This book brings together two often-overlooked climbing areas that offer surprising variety, history, and challenge for climbers of all levels. In Delaware, you’ll find short but technical cliffs, scattered boulders, and urban-access crags that make for perfect after-work sessions or training days. Just across the border in Maryland, Rocks State Park provides a more expansive playground of tall quartzite walls, rugged outcrops, and adventurous lines surrounded by wooded hills and the scenic Deer Creek valley. Packed with clear route descriptions, grades, first ascent history, and approach details, this guide is designed to help you navigate both areas with confidence. Whether you’re seeking quick top-rope laps, bold trad challenges, or exploratory bouldering circuits, this book captures the character and potential of climbing in this unique corner of the Mid-Atlantic. With maps, topos, and previously undocumented areas, this guidebook is an essential resource for anyone looking to climb in Delaware or explore the historic cliffs of Rocks State Park.
