Or first go to Tower Wall, then walk flat NorthWest past Three Bears and Dave's Wall, then past the Munsee and Ramapaugh boulders to the junction (lat long ~ N41.1453 W74.1667) with the trail which goes up to Good Books Wall. Turn Right onto that trail and hike uphill NE for about 60-75 feet, then about half-way up before reaching the top of the slope, turn Right off the trail for Shawkopoke sector, or Left off the trail to traverse NW to the other sectors.
