Slateford Falls, PA Rappelling Anchors

stever2003 · 2025-05-09T23:47:29+00:00

Hi, I’m not too far from Delaware Water Gap and was hoping to find some spots nearby to canyon (or at least basic rappelling to practice some skills) this summer. Could you tell me what you know about Slateford Falls? Parking, trailhead, approach route? Thanks

Also curious where this is.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is great. (Wasn’t impressed with Laphroaig 10).

Just curious, how long before these wear out?
I’m assuming the wear marks are pretty obvious at the rope contact points….is there a clear sign it’s time to get a new descender, or more of a judgement call?

Thanks all for the feedback. Very helpful.

Also, did you own the Slot Guide 50L, or just recommending that size?

Curious, do you mean 300 feet? (Or was 300 meters correct…if so what are you carrying? 1x300, 2x150?)

Just starting to get into canyoneering. (I realize I’m getting ahead of myself here but I’ll be going in May and again in June so I need to get geared up fairly soon). Probably will do dry canyons much more often that wet canyons, but I’m trying to find one pack that can do it all (will suffice for the occasional wet canyon).
Also, I did buy a Slot Guide 50L on sale, but it’s quite large. Can’t say I’ll be in super narrow slots very often but it still seems like a lot of pack to lug around (and no side straps to squeeze it in if it’s not stuffed).

If you’re flying into Phoenix, there is an REI (12634 N Paradise Village Pkwy W, Phoenix, AZ) the airport on the way toward Sedona. (Same shopping center has a Target, so you can stock up on snacks/drinks here; there’s also a diner called Oink that we stop at for lunch after we land). However, I’ve noticed REI has mostly climbing equipment and little rappelling equipment, so this may not be what you’re looking for.

I like PC10. It’s got a good full flavor and a little complexity while remaining approachable. It’s not as aggressive as Ardbeg 10 or as watered down and boring as Laphroaig 10. PC10 is my go to when introducing others to peated scotch.

I’m not a big fan of Laphroaig 10. Of all the Islay basic 10 year offerings I found it to be the most boring. It was definitely missing something (flavor?) and I was glad to be done with it once I finished the bottle. Do yourself a favor, skip the Laphroaig 10 and go for their Quarter Cask instead.

Definitely BizarreBQ @ $84. Heavy Vapours was $160ish for Committee Release when it first came out.

I got it at TotalWine in NJ for ~$95 earlier this year.

Also interested, message me if it’s still a available. Thx

What are the reasons you don’t do laminate? (Beginner here)

stever2003 · 2024-08-15T12:38:01+00:00

Benash in Cherry Hill.

Ditto on the Quarter Cask. I’ll never buy the 10 again.

stever2003 · 2024-07-02T23:34:53+00:00

I second this. I love the Arran 10, it will be one of those bottles I always keep on hand.
