Closter Raid

Up to the obvious left-trending crack. Next a ways following the crack. Then exit from the crack and go straight up small dihedral (open book) to the top.

. . . ? Name of route ? . . .

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

On the face 10-12 feet right of tree at bottom of the big Left-facing corner which forms the right edge of the main wall (with a clean center section) of the left side of the Jersey Vols sector. Under an obvious left-leaning diagonal crack.

W angle on Center+Right side

Center + Right side

Top-Roping: Straightforward to set up top anchor with static line. Hike+scramble around the right side to reach the top.

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
