Details
Garrett Mountain falls under the Passaic County Park system which under Article 2 section 37 "No Person shall engage in the climbing or repelling in the climbing or mountains, mountain cliffs and/or building structures on park premises."
The first developer of this area has been bouldering at the Flakes since the late 1990's. The Flakes is in the woods and somewhat obscured from easy viewing down the hill.
The Flakes area is about 100 yards uphill from a police station. Climbers must be discrete, keep quiet, no super bright colors, etc. Keeping a low profile is essential to maintain the use of this area.

Description
This route is on the prominent buttress of rock jutting out of the hill. The Inchworm boulder is only about 40 feet from a partially paved path. Begin the problem on the left side of the boulder. Step onto the boulder in a shallow left facing alcove and then reach up to a jug. Move right onto two small crimps below the main break which runs across the boulder. Stay below this main break until the very end of the boulder. After the crimps continue to move right passing a jug and then go to a sloper and a crimp before lunging to a hold on the corner with the right hand. Avoid the small boulder below this problem at the end of the traverse. Now move up to the break and a stance. The problem is over.
