Fort Delaware Wall Climbers to Remove Vegetation

Get Connected Icon Get Connected Icon ongoing

Description

Are you an avid rock climber? Do you have a passion for history? Come out to Fort Delaware and assist park staff in the removal of invasive plants and other vegetation growing along the front and back of historic Fort Delaware! It's not every day you get to scale a 170-year-old fort, so jump on the opportunity now!

Fort Delaware State Park is looking for experienced rock climbers or bouldering enthusiasts who would be willing to scale down the side of the fort and remove invasive vines. These vines can become damaging to the structure of the historic fort, and their removal will greatly benefit the longevity of this national treasure!

To access the vines, there is an overhang that climbers must traverse, making this a suggested Class 5 hard to difficult climb. It is suggested that only experienced rock climbers attempt the project. Climbers must bring their own equipment, as well.
