A portion of the Near Trapps has been closed to climbing. This includes land below the cliff to above cliff line and starts approximately at Eenie Meenie and continues south about 200 feet. Climbers are asked to respect the no-trespassing signs and advised to use the access trail marked in orange blazes. This trail starts at the intersection of the Blue trail over the top of the Nears and the first Red trail. Follow the orange blazes east and downhill from this junction to arrive at the far (south) end of the Nears. For more information please view http://www.mohonkpreserve.org/index.php?news
Five feet right of Akidlleativytoowouldn'tyou is a small, left-facing corner. Climb this to its top, move right, then up the slab/face to a horizontal near the base of a seam. Get good protection at the horizontal, then go up past the seam (crux) to a ledge. Belay at one of several trees. The face moves after the top of the initial corner are certainly not hard - perhaps 5.5/5.6 - but they are a bit insecure and if you fell reaching for the good horizontal, you would hit the ground.
Location
Williams' Wall.
Protection
Standard 'Gunks rack. The guide mentions that Ballnuts could be used, but I didn't see any place for them.
