Description
This is a nice pair of flows with a short--albeit taxing--approach that you're sure to have to yourself.
The left flow is a large tube that lays back halfway up. At the top of the runnel, there should be a rappel anchor in place (this is a canyoneering route) on the logs jammed in the creek.
The more difficult right flow, when formed, offers a short curtain leading to a runnel. You can use the same rappel anchor as for the left flow.
This is a mid- to late-season climb, as the high flow and possibly thermal feed needs a long stretch of cold weather to freeze. There is another, shorter flow ~600 feet further up the creek. The climbs beyond that are probably best accessed via the Weehawken Trail rather than slogging up the creek.
Location
Continue past the Weehawken Creek Trailhead up the hill, and park near the bridge. Don't park in the roadway or block the driveway. Use the Weehawken trailhead if necessary.
The approach is the crux of the climb despite being only 1/4 mile. From the bridge, hike west along the south side of the creek, past the summer campsites, and descend into the creek. Hike up the creek to a cluster of enormous boulders, and thrash your way up, perhaps by a frozen flow on the right. The falls is just beyond the boulders.
