Geocache Description:



Campbell's Ledge is a geographical feature near Pittston, Pennsylvania. It is about 1,280 ft (390 Meters) above sea level. It is named after William Campbell.

Who was being chased by Native American Indians. Instead of being burned at the stake by the Indians, Campbell jumped off the ledge before they could apprehend him. It also features a multipurpose antenna for emergency services.

If looked closely at (especially in winter) you could see the face of the cliff makes a '2'. The view from the top of the ledge is extraordinary. On a clear day, you can see approximately a 30 mile stretch of the Wyomimg Valley, which is cut by the Susquehanna River directly below the ledge.

Note:Its a long walk up if the gate is locked,but when you get there.boy its something that you won't forget. Ok lets talk gear: 200 Feet static Rope, At least 4 Rope Protecter's ,Some Asender's, A ATC or GriGri what ever it is you use, A Helmet,Water alot of water,Knowledge of what you are about to do is a must.this is by far very Dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.
