Description Suggest change

Mainly a sport crag about 20 minutes up a trail from Rt 7. It is divided into several walls with a good mix of route grades. As the name implies it is mostly south facing and is one of the earliest crags to warm up in the spring. Great place to get in a few quick sport climbs in the afternoon.

Getting There Suggest change

From the intersection of Route 101 and Route 7 in Welsford (by the Irving) head north on Route 7. Once you pass the golf course (on the east side) look for a small cellphone tower with an access road. Park at the access road, but do not block the gate. The trail in is on the opposite side of Route 7 (West side) just at the end of the guard rail.
