Legal concerns
Climbing is generally not legally permitted on . . .
* parks and recreation areas of Essex county.
. - - > Parks Rules and Regulations - (especially section 74-8)
* parks of Union county.
. - - > Parks Regulations
. - - > Union County Parks Ordinance - (especially section 115-27)
* parks of Passaic county.
. - - > Rules and Regulations for Park property - (especially section 37)
* Newark + Pequannock Watershed land.
. . . (be glad to get links or more info about this).
* Palisades Interstate Park land.
. . . (be glad to get links or more info about this).
* Wildlife management areas of the state of New Jersey.
. . . (be glad to get links or more info about this).
Seems obvious that the "climbing" prohibited includes Top-Roping or Lead-climbng using a rope. Some or most forms of bouldering would likely also fall under these prohibitions.
