Tree House Wall is a delightful shaded mini bouldering wall nestled in the heart of Scranton's, Pennsylvania largest park, Nay Aug, which offers a few easy and enjoyable boulder problems from VB up to V2. The holds are mostly to be found in the form of thin edges where the rock is horizontally fractured. There is little need for a crash pad as the wall is only about 12-15 feet high and most landings are flat and covered in leaf litter. The problems described are on good quality solid sandstone, though the crag is crumbly in places. Approach time is about 5-10 minutes walk from the main car park.
If you're looking for a couple hours of fun bouldering in the Scranton area, this super little venue should suffice.

No official access, but the crag is located on public land. Keep a low profile and chalk use to a minimum. Brush holds clean with a soft brush after finishing the problems.
