This report is from before I put more time into writing and taking route photos, so it may not be very helpful. I'm keeping it up for the memories, and will one day hopefully return to better document. Find other reports in this region.

Jul 18, 2014 — Though used primarily for climbing access, the hike to the Orange Oswald cliffs overlooking Summersville lake is beautiful. Make it a loop by swimming over to Pirate's Cove, or go back and find the less-beaten trail.

Hire/refer me as a web developer or send me a few bucks if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing trip reports is unpaid. I really appreciate it!
