On the HFC Web Guide The Tiers information only includes boulder problems. There are two routes to be mentioned as well. I've updated the Harpers Ferry Mountain Project pages to include The Tiers and the two routes.

School Bus Turnaround parking spots
Some climbers have reported receiving parking tickets for parking at the school bus turnaround at the western end of Sandy Hook, MD. I had posted prior to these tickets being issued HERE & HERE with instructions on how to park. People received tickets after these posts so I thought I'd look a little closer at the signs.
This
spot is used to access Elk Ridge climbing
(Balcony Rock, Balcony Jr., Outlying Area, all of the bouldering, etc.).
Carpooling is required because there are only 2 spots at this location.

If you are at this parking area and see other people parking illegally then please, using your own judgment, consider educating them on the fines that have been issued and work to maintain this access point.
See the Parking page of the HFC Web Guide or the HFC Google map for more parking options and information.
Thanks

Dining Establishments - Update
I stopped in at River & Trail Outfitters to explore for potential solutions to what seems an inevitable access crisis (ie parking) for climbers visiting HF.

I had mentioned I

Balcony Rock, Route Update
I revised the Balcony Rock section of Mountain Project to include a "new" route. We have climbed it for years but the top anchor setup is now easier so you may want to place the route on your to-do list. Advanced notice, the rating could be off a little.

Just sharing for fun. Looks like the signs of the hammer glancing off the piton and hitting the rock wall are still visible.
Thanks, Enjoy

Ice is Nice
(edited 2/7/13)
It's winter and some of you are searching for ice to climb. It doesn't seem to be an abundant resource in our area and it takes special conditions for it to form. I wanted to share some possibilities for those who are on the hunt.
First, recall a previous post and possibly the best ice, though access issues exist, in Harpers Ferry [ HERE ].
I stopped in at a waterfall in Harpers Ferry this past weekend to see if it might be frozen. Since it had rained
