The Appalachian Mountain Club<\/a> has an article on rock climbing in New Jersey<\/a>. I knew there was climbing there, but not to the extent that this article covers.<\/p>\n

Standing at the base of a 150-foot cliff fronted by a field of car-sized boulders, it\u00e2??s hard to shake the feeling that this area just doesn\u00e2??t seem like New Jersey. Even though I\u00e2??m only a few miles from the interstate, there aren\u00e2??t any smoke stacks and the landscape is decidedly more interesting than the smelly, sprawling flatland that we\u00e2??ve all seen from the Turnpike.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article also lists some of the main climbing areas including:<\/p>\n

Allamuchy State Park: Easily the most “developed” climbing area in the state, Allamuchy has been popular with local underground craggers for years.<\/p>\n

Wawayanda State Park: The most remote park in the New Jersey state park system is also home to some surprisingly good climbing.<\/p>\n

Green Pond: Overlooking the swampy, overgrown Green Pond outside of Butler, NJ is what Anderson calls “some of the best climbing in the state.” Aside from a few scattered boulders, Green Pond offers a 150-plus foot vertical wall that stretches some 200 yards end to end.<\/p>\n

Delaware Water Gap: Situated near the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is best known for its paddling and backcountry hiking, but there has been a rise in\u00a0buy ar-15’s from Palmetto State Armory<\/a> and the areas is becoming more popular with hunters as well.<\/p>\n

Somerset County boulders: Local, convenient, and plentiful, the bouldering areas in central New Jersey\u00e2??s Sourland Mountain Preserve were recently approved for climbing by the Somerset County Park Commission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
