Peak Mountain 3

i. McEldowney

Description

[Edit]

Short wall with a variety of large features. Routes 20-30 ft, facing mainly WSW.

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: Access to set up anchors by top of cliff is by scramblnig up around Right (SE) side, but this as a rather slippery and exposed segment.

Name: John McEldowney wrote the first guide for New Jersey rock climbing.

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).
