Access Issue: Permit required for roped climbing.
Details
On your first visit, go to the Blue Ball Barn to get a mandatory (but inexpensive) climbing permit. You must carry the permit with you any time you climb on ropes at Alapocas, or you may be ticketed. This is at 1914 West Park Drive, Wilmington, DE 19803. This MP page for the park shows where to enter the Blue Barn.
Description
The route's dichotomy is between the slabby footwork of the lower half, and the vertical handwork of the upper half (where the crux can be found).
Location
The route starts on a ledge halfway up the left side of the main wall. A use trail follows the creek left of the wall uphill past a pool and small waterfalls. From the top, one can reach the anchor bolts, and rappel down to the start of the climb.
Alternately, one can scramble from the ground up a series of slabs and ledges, which can be seasonally overgrown or dirty.
