Description

Nestled in a beautiful grove of wind stunted beech and oak trees, this boulder offers decent rock quality and a few problems that are somewhat atypical for Long Island, as they feature moderately incut holds on a steep angle. A few other variations/possibilities exist, but the likely best line is not possible due to a thick oak tree blocking it. The good news is that this tree is so cool that it's worth hiking up here just to check it out!

NOTE: Ticks are definitely present in this area. Be on the lookout for them.

Getting There

From the parking area at the north end of Roanoke Avenue, follow the vehicle ramp down to the beach. From here, walk east for 0.25 miles to a lightly defined trail that heads south into a hollow in the bluff. After about 25-30 yards, the Bluff Boulder should be visible. Continue following a lightly defined trail to reach the boulder. The majority of the problems are located on the south side of the boulder.
