At this junction turn sharp Left and walk SouthWest gentle up another dirt road about 160 ft / 50 meters. Here turn Right off the road and bushwhack uphill NorthWest about 160 feet / 50 meters to the base of the Jersey Volunteers slab. To reach other rocks, turn Left and walk roughly horizontally parallel to the base of the cliffs up to 400 feet / 120 meters (until the access to Puzzle Palace).

. (It could also be reached by traversing NorthEast along the base of the cliffs from Puzzle Palace, but this requires crawling under or around a large fallen tree).
