39th Street Union City NJ

About 250ft strip of unrecorded, send-able rock nestled on 39th street in Union City NJ. Majority of the strip are unremarkable V-Beginner grade climbs which are fine for warming up. As of now, there are 5 solid climbable faces that can range from (pending on variation) V1-V4.

Can’t get any easier to drive to and park. With parking right along the strip on both sides of the street and no access fees, a simple address plug-in of a local landmark into your GPS app of choice will get you there and set-up in no time.

Plenty of sun and rides along the sidewalk so there is mild-to-moderate foot traffic with the occasional curious bystander (street connects two major roads in the city and shares a block with basketball courts and skate park). Pet friendly and have had zero issues with law/parking enforcement.

I’m hoping this area to be discovered by someone who knows “rock type” soon but as of now, rock type and quality feel GOOD with 4 ascended faces and 1 ongoing project (so far by this v4/5.10 gumby)

(Being this location and contributor are both new to MP, details and pictures are gradually being added so stay tuned - March2020)

Getting There

The strip lives down a one-way street with parking on both sides, and plenty more on the surrounding blocks. Residential parking permit required from 10pm-7am so as long as you’re day-time climbing, there is just a 2 hour maximum parking time (we just kept moving our car as we completed problems down the 250+ foot strip).

-Best driving approach is to GPS surrounding landmarks and depending on which direction you are coming from on John F. Kennedy Blvd, turn onto 39th street
-GPS’ing using the following landmarks (last update March 2020), will get you within a block of the actual strip of rocks: Rivas RD Minimarket, Union City Housing Authority, Union City Skate Park, Napta Coffee Shop
-can also try to use this Google “plus code” (can copy and paste this into Google Maps app): QXGC+W5 Union City, New Jersey
-Location noted below is the START of the 250+ ft strip so don’t fret if you happen to drive past it!
