Description
Mostly less-than-vertical with interesting large features.
Routes 50-70 feet tall, Facing mainly SSE.
Cool weather nice due to favorable exposure. Much is shaded by mature trees, so not as hot as might expect on hot days.
Top-Roping: Access to set up anchors by top of cliff is likely simplest by scrambling up around Right (SE) side, but slippery.
Name: Tim Walsh and Lucas Kovalcik 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 the GV 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.
. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

From N end of parking (N40.9560 W74.7371) by end of Cranberry Lake, walk N flat about 1050 feet, soon crossing the asphalt North Shore Rd, onto 4-6 ft wide dirt path of Sussex Rail Trail to (N40.9591 W74.7388). Here turn Left (W) onto hiking trail marked with green plastic squares. A little up then down into the first "pre-hollow", for about 1300 feet past some ponds with some ups and downs to reach the start of the steep uphill section. Continue uphill about 580 feet, then another 100-150 ft roughly flat.
Leave marked trail around (N40.9575 W74.7448), bear slight right (WNW) and bushwhack about 325 feet to under the SW corner of crag, then turn R and up about 50 ft to base of sector Walsh.
Effort: +155 vertical feet uphill over 0.7 mile distance. Typical hiking time 15-27 minutes.
