Access Issue: Not specifically approved for climbing by NJ Parks, or perhaps outside State Park land.
Details
This area has not been specifically approved for climbing by NJ Parks, and perhaps is completely of partly outside the Park, instead on State-owned land managed by the NJ Dept of Environmental Protection. Also there might be a concern of climbers parking disruptively outside the Route 206 Cranberry Lake commuter parking lot on busy days.
We heard a report that an official survey was performed for a point near this cliff sector, and at least this cliff is very close to the boundary -- like perhaps the top might be inside the Park and the bottom (or middle) might be outside. We do not yet know of any general rule of the DEP forbidding climbing, and as of 2018 this area is not posted for any special status or restrictions. There is no general NJ Parks rule forbidding climbing (after submitting a signed waiver of liability form for the current year).

Description
Two very different rock situations.
Start at bottom right end of the wide left-trending ramp. Up the ramp to reach the base of a shallow wide dihedral / open book, just above left from the non-sharp arete.
. . . Variation 1: Instead continue to the top of the ramp, then up the obvious corner with crack to the top - (at least one grade harder).
Enter the shallow dihedral / open book from ramp above left.
. . . Variation 2: Enter the dihedral directly from its bottom - (one grade harder).
Roughly straight up the dihedral / open book to finish just left of the left-hand of two non-thick tree on the same high ledge.
. . . Variation 3: About half-way up the dihedral, step left onto the face and up that to the top - (much harder).
warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.
. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
