The Wikipedia entry of Central Park states that there are rock climbing spots in the park. After weeks of food and no exercise, I was eager to find the place.
We found one of the spots! There was already a climber there 😀
This rock is called the Rat Rock. There’s even a Wikipedia entry on it. According to Wikipedia, this rock is called rat rock because rats swarms the place at night. Euw.
There were not many routes visible at this rock. Some can be seen through the white chalk patches on the wall.
Handholds were most crimps except for a few jugs here and there. Footholds on the other hand were tiny. It was difficult to climb without climbing shoes :/
Other than Rat Rock, there is also Cat Rock. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find that place.
Spotted 2 pairs of legs.
