Legal concerns
Climbing is generally not legally permitted on . . .
* parks of Passaic county.
. . - - > Rules and Regulations for Park property (especially section 37)
* at least some parks or other land owned by Morris county.
. . (be glad to get links or more info about this).
* Newark + Pequannock Watershed land.
. . (be glad to get links or more info about this).
* Wildlife management areas of the state of New Jersey.
Seems obvious that the "climbing" prohibited includes Top-Roping or Lead-climbng using a rope. Some or most forms of bouldering would likely also fall under those prohibitions.
