Starting holds from a crouch position with right hand to the obvious jug, left hand to the crimp slightly lowered (as pictured), and foot holds a mix of a smear and tiny ledges to the left. Climb up to the crack line and traverse left towards the small dihedral. Once in the dihedral, use various crimp holds to top out into the center angle of the dihedral WITHOUT using the arrete on the left.

39th Tra-Di

urban sketch slab

Obvious lean/stand start with sketchy concrete pockets and solid brick holds all the way up to the rock ledge about 12 feet up if balanced correctly.

Boulder on both sides are OFF for v2 (ON for easier beta)

 ***V-Project*** climb all the way up to the fence (roughly 20ft total from the initial problem start). Please take extreme care and definitely have a spotter when finding reliable beta due to some of the concrete holds coming loose.

About 250ft strip of unrecorded, send-able rock nestled on 39th street in Union City NJ. Majority of the strip are unremarkable V-Beginner grade climbs which are fine for warming up. As of now, there are 5 solid climbable faces that can range from (pending on variation) V1-V4. 

Can’t get any easier to drive to and park. With parking right along the strip on both sides of the street and no access fees, a simple address plug-in of a local landmark into your GPS app of choice will get you there and set-up in no time.

 Plenty of sun and rides along the sidewalk so there is mild-to-moderate foot traffic with the occasional curious bystander (street connects two major roads in the city and shares a block with basketball courts and skate park). Pet friendly and have had zero issues with law/parking enforcement.

 I’m hoping this area to be discovered by someone who knows “rock type” soon but as of now, rock type and quality feel GOOD with 4 ascended faces and 1 ongoing project (so far by this v4/5.10 gumby)
