Shark River Plundering

Thoughtful moves, but not necessarily what most people feel as "fun".

Step onto the obvious diagonal crack and follow that trending left for a ways. Then up the right side of the small buttress, using the vertical crack in the buttress for left-side handholds.

. . . ? Name of route ? . . .

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

A bit left from the bottom of obvious left-leaning diagonal crack which is a about ten feet right from the obvious gully which is a bit right from the center of the Jersey Vols sector.

Top-Roping: Straightforward to set up top anchor with static line. Hike+scramble around the right side to reach the top.

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
