d. Smiley Face

Mostly non-tall vertical wall, also some slab segments. 20-30 ft tall, facing mainly West.

A bit noisier than other sectors, because not in the "real hollow". 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: To get access to the top of the cliff, can scramble up (steep + slippery) around the left side. Staying close to base of cliff the whole way is both slippery exposed, so think about scrambling up (or down) where is (still slippery, but) less exposed. Can find trees at top which could be used to construct natural anchor using a static line and/or slings.

Name: The Smiley family supported interesting abundant climbing loved by generations of NJ-PA-NY climbers, above all by permitting (and preserving) technical rock climbing on land which they owned or managed.

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).
