Description
Small cliff near bigger ones.
About 25-30 ft tall, facing mainly SouthWest.
Lots of fun interesting featiures on the routes: Too bad it's not taller.
Cool weather days nice in afternoon due to favorable exposure. Much is shaded by mature trees, so not as hot as might expect on hot afternoons.
Top-Roping: Accessing the top of the cliff by scrambling up around the right side works but steep + slippery. Left side is a bit friendlier. The top is mostly fairly flat and there are several natural anchor points.
Name: Jon Crefeld -- classic male hero type ... who deploys his powers for good in the modern age -- U.S.Army ranger ... writer / actor / producer of videos ... Mountain guide both locally and other regions, enabling many NJ-PA-NY climbers to get out for learning and adventure. When the big nearby Powerlinez climbing area was unknown to all but a few, Jon wrote and published the first guidebook, so that the larger community could enjoy the challenges of its interesting rock.
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).

In the third cluster of crags from Parking (uphill from the Walsh+Kovalcik cluster), below left from sector Prudden.

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 500 ft gentle down WNW. Next up the hill roughly NW 120 ft, then gentle 170 ft (passing below sector Krauss and sector Prudden) to reach base of sector McCarthy.
Effort: +180 vertical feet uphill over 0.75 mile distance. Typical hiking time 17-33 minutes.
