Thoughtful moves on some slopy holds.

 Start to right from below undercling about 15 ft up which is under right side of obvious high overhang. A short ways straight up, then diagonal up right to meet squiggling curve crack higher than its bottom. Up that to slopy dirt / grass slope. Wade up that to reach corner crack and somehow navigate through that to the top.

 Variation Start (5.10) : start on the next climb to the right, then traverse horizontal left below bottom of squiggly curving crack. Next diagonal up right to reach bottom of squiggly curving crack, and up that to rejoin main route.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

 name: The line of the route is a like the graph of the mathematical Sine functon (turned on its side, so perhaps it's really the "inverted Sine") -- very different from the trigonometric function if its right sibling crack.

Interesting and arm-intensive.

 Start a bit right from below small 1-ft-deep roof with undercling crack about 15 ft up, which is under right side of big high overhang and obvious notch at its top right. First up and a bit rightward until hands are somewhere around same height as small roof, then horizontal left underneath roof. Next diagonal up left to reach lowest point of high overhang. Next Diagonal up right following dark wide crack with big holds under right side of high overhang. Finish through obvious notch to top.

Interesting moves, but not sustained.

 Find tree about 15 ft up in crack on left side of big corner block. Start about 8 ft right from below tree. Diagonal Left up to tree. Tree is on -- Grab the tree -- and around its Left side.  . . . ? project ? variation: Pass to right of tree without touching tree (5.10+) ?

 Next up easier to another crack slanting a bit Left. Up that and on up to finish one side or the other of the jagged gnarly tree on top.

Some thoughtful moves. Some slippery dirt/leaves. Grabbing trees is "On", but not necessarily smart or safe.

 Start under obvious high big overhang on left side of cliff. Diagonal Left up steep ramp. Just before reaching gap in ramp, see dagger rock at least 2 ft long pointing down. Up R side of dagger (crux).  Next up a slippery section, then slightly Left up thru broken notch (instead of slabby right). Above notch, Finish diagonal right on slabby rock to reach gentler ground.

Lots of interesting face moves, with a tricky start.

 Find tree about 15 ft up in crack on left side of big corner block. Start about 10 ft left from below tree. Up a bit into start of vague R-trending ramp, but instead of continuing on ramp, traverse Right toward tree. Before reaching tree head roughly straight up, staying left of upper crack of the "Right Crack with Tree" route, and finish 6-8 ft left of jagged gnarly tree at top.

Lots to offer: face + overhang + undercling; crimps + horns + slopers + jugs.

 Difficulty grade uncertain, because as of June 2018 we have not heard from anyone who ascended it fully cleanly. We've gotten reports from two climbers who each said they'd done all the moves, but did not yet have the endurance to link them all together for a complete send. So if you do a complete send, let us know so we can give you First Ascent credit on this page (provided you also tell us your estimate of its difficulty).

 Start under left side of small 1-ft-deep roof with undercling crack about 15 ft up, which is under right side of high overhang. First up (5.9+) toward left end of that roof. Next diagonal left to under lowest point of big high overhang. Diagonal up right following dark wide crack a few feet, then exit Left from that up into the midst of high overhang. Once into it, diagonal left a few feet, then diagonal right to top out.

Sustained climbing -- too bad it's not longer.

 Start on face just right of 2-ft-thick 4-ft-high block which ramps up left -- below vertical straight crack in dark water streak, which is a few feet right from the curvy Sinusoid crack. Up face a bit left-ward (not using the block). Next aim for bottom of the vertical straight crack, and up the dark water streak to reach slopy dirt / grass slope.

name: The line of the route is a like part of the graph of the mathematical Tangent function -- very different from the trigonometric function if its left sibling.

Interesting moves, but not sustained.

 Up the arete, step across ramp from below left, around L side of overhang up to slabby terrace. Up the face just Left of the "Big Corner" crack (and well R of the upper crack of "Right Crack with Tree"). FInish straight up to jagged gnarly tree on top.

 Variation Start (easier): on face on left side of corner.

Steep rock (some overhanging) with interesting features. Routes mostly 60-70 feet tall, Facing mainly WSW.

 Cool weather nice in afternoons due to favorable exposure. Much is shaded by mature trees, so not as hot as might expect on hot afternoons.

 Top-Roping: Access to set up anchors by top of cliff is likely simplest by scramblnig up around Right (SE) side, but slippery.

 Name: Lucas Kovalcik and Tim Walsh launched and then expanded a new approach to indoor climbing that is used and loved by many NJ NY PA climbers. The Gravity Vault climbing gym in Chatham NJ is 35 miles from the usual Cranberry Hollow parking, and TGV in Flemington is 37 miles.

warning: Loose rock is still a concern in this sector. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber or underneath a leader setting up top anchor.
