  Answer:-Try this:
  
  http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/page.cgi?g=North+America/United+States/Pennsylvania
  
  I can't say that the info is the best. I live in NEPA and I can't find some of the places listed.
  
  Have you tried asking the guys in the gear store by Chili's downtown...I can't remember the name of the store.
• Question:-Anyone have any suggestions for things to do for fun with kids in State College, PA?
  I have to take a business trip to State College PA and I am taking my family. We went there two years ago and couldn't do much with the kids aside from swim in the hotel pool and walk the streets and little downtown shops - which we will do again, but looking for other suggestions. My hubby will be stuck in the hotel with the kids - and will definitely need to get out after all of that!
  
  Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!

• Question:-If you live or have lived in state college, pa would you recommend it to a family moving there?
  My husband has recently taken a job in Pa and it is not at the college, and I was just reading on one of the forums that it is a gloomy little no culture town. Is this true?
  
  Answer:-If you're looking for a safe town with a terrific school district, then State College will fit the bill. It is still somewhat reasonable to live there as well.
  
  "No culture" - depends on your definition of culture. There are always festivals and such going on, especially during the summer. If you're a college football fan, then you're at a good place for tailgating and Big 10 excitement. The university has plenty going on at all times. Plus, you're an hour away from Harrisburg, and two hours away from Pittsburgh. The downtown area has plenty of little shops to keep you busy, plus it's very quaint. Parking is cheap, too.
  
  Naturally, the students dominate the town, so Christmas and summer are always more desirable if you're not into crowds.
  
  Happy Valley is a beautiful place, and summer and fall make up for the winters.

• Question:-Looking for an affordable apartment in downtown State College, Pa. Any Ideas?
  I'm looking for a place for 3 or 4 guys in State College, PA. Hopefully close to campus (a few blocks). But we want to pay no more than 330 a month. Well, something around 250 would be perfect.
  
  Anyone know of a decent place to live downtown that's not expensive. If it's cheaper to go with 3 people in a 1br we'd do that, or if it's cheaper to go 4 in a 2br we'd do that too. Anyone have past experience of know of a nice place?
  
  THANKS!

  3 in a 1 bdrm is really crowded. 4 in a 2 bdrm is more doable - either bunk beds in both bdrms or two twin beds in each if there's room, or futons! If any of you are handy, create some semi-loft bed frames. Have the bed about waist or chest height - easier to jump onto than a bunk, but lots of storage space underneath.
  
  4 x $250 = $1000
  4 x $330 = $1320
  
  Not real easy to find as they go fast, but keep looking! Don't forget to ask for the utilities history - depending on how well-built the place is (or isn't!) the utilities can really range.
