Rocks State Park Falling Branch/Kilgore Falls routes, Maryland.

So, a few years ago, when I first started climbing and didn't know how much I didn't know and didn't have any climber friends, I took it upon myself to teach myself how to set up top rope anchors and climb on ropes. Looking back, it was kind of stupid, but whatever. I used to frequent a waterfall in a part of Rocks State Park called Kilgore Falls and would scramble and boulder the rock to the left of the falls, and thought the cliff to the right looked like a fun climb. So I showed a friend how to belay and see up a top rope and climb it. It was so full of moss and dirt and plants, it was obvious it hadn't been climbed in ages, if at all. I haven't seen this particular crag in any books or on the app and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Has anyone named or rated it? Or is it up for grabs. Seems like, from my memory, there are a few possible routes, especially now that I know more about anchors and have trad gear ( though I can't remember if it looked doable on gear).

Let me know if this belongs in eastern states forum, as I didn't see Maryland listed anywhere
