I am starting to get stir crazy living in a hotel. I want to climb. I am waiting to get a credit card so that I can secure a rental car. This will open up my weekend possibilities quite a bit. A few people I work with venture off to Atlantic City, but it would be risky for me to go every weekend.
As far as climbing options are concerned, there are actually quite a few areas worth consideration within a reasonable distance. Allamuchy State Park is only one mile away from the hotel and has trad climbs 5.2-5.11d up to 80 feet in height. While exploring, I found a few boulders, that if cleaned, could reveal lines ranging from V4 to V8. Surfing around mountain project, I found a picture of a boulder at Pyramid Mountain, which is about 20 miles away. The only problem with finding the boulder is that the people that know where it is will not divulge the beta online.
