Climbing Near Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

Inwood Hill Park is an amazing little park that feels completely removed from New York City. As this is the last natural park in Manhattan, and maybe even NYC when you climb these rocks you know you're climbing where the Lenape Native Americans lived. As there aren't a lot of climbs logged in any guidebooks, when you come to Inwood make sure you're ready for a day of exploration, remembering what bouldering is all about, and having fun. Enjoy and respect this amazing park! Located in the northernmost tip of Manhattan between the Harlem and Hudson Rivers is Inwood Hill Park. You can access it by getting off at 207 street on the A, or 215th on the 1, followed by a short walk into Inwood Hill Park, and then followed by a short walk into the woods of Inwood Hill Park.

A Beautiful boulder that resembles a split sphere, with bright colors, and an amazing sloping arete which is dying to be climbed. From the north end of Inwood Hill park by Shorakkopoch rock walk into the woods and turn left. Access via a steep bushwhack from either the first path heading up towards the caves, or by heading towards Zero point wall and then doing a flatish bushwack, following the large rock faces.

A Large wall with a bad landing but hosts a few very sketchy highballs, the Infamous Zero point arete project and an easy 1 star traverse for warming up which often has a lot of mud in it. When entering via the North end the park where Shorakkopock Rock is take a left, walk about 500 feet and then take a right up the final dirt path which leads up to the caves (fourth dirt path up to the right in all, the first one doesn't lead to the caves). Walk straight up the path and skip the first boulder you come to (Indian Cave), and continue up the path to the obvious large wall directly above Indian cave with the bad landing.
