About Powerlinez

Powerlinez is the New York metro area's default outdoor climbing venue — granitic-gneiss cliffs and boulders on the flanks of Torne Mountain in the south-west corner of Harriman State Park, under a set of high-tension power lines that give the crag its name. An hour up the Palisades Parkway or Route 17 from the George Washington Bridge, it holds close to a hundred sport routes plus a strong bouldering circuit on high-friction Storm King / Reservoir gneiss. Mountain Project's top-ranked mix is The Sins of the Son (5.10b), Simple Solution (5.9), Snake Charmer (5.10a), plus boulders Slabasaurus (V4) and Paul Bunyan (V5). Access is managed by the Torne Valley Climbers' Coalition: a free annual waiver is required (tornevalleyclimbers.com) and climbing is permitted ONLY in the Powerlinez area — other Harriman cliffs are off-limits. Strict parking rules: NO parking on Torne Brook Road; use the designated Saltbox Parking Area (weekdays before 4 PM). No fee. The gneiss dries fast and the south-east aspect gives a long April-through-November season. A NYSDEC SEQR review of the climbing area is active as of early 2026 — access is stable but worth checking TVCC's page before you drive.
