Is the approach short or just shorter than others to The Pear?
The Pear is one of the best ROI for walking to climbing. Most of the climbs are 4 pitches or so and the walk is a little over an hour. There are closer spots with shorter climbs and longer climbs with longer walks so it's the best balance for people who want to get some rock climbing in but not walk all day.
Is The Pear a good spot for beginners?
With some great moderate climbs and a bit longer shade than other spots it makes a pretty good beginner location. We often like to do some trad leading and multipitch climbing instruction here as well but it also makes a good spot for climbers who want to do their first easier multipitch climb.
When is the best weather to climb at The Pear?
The Pear has great morning shade so it can be done as a shorter day most of the year but the cooler temperatures of the spring and fall make the best rock climbing for most of Lumpy Ridge. The Pear is no exception with late September and October being our favorite time to climb here.
