traverse left to right starting with smoother white granite and moving right, toward darker, easier blocks. white blocks are much harder and more techy, grey blocks are just pumpy.

Gawker Traverse

The start is on a block that looks like a face in a Picasso painting. Must climb the zig zag crack all the way to the top. No other holds allowed, crack only.

link up of the jumping jack flash and gawker traverse (backwards). THIS ROUTE HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY THE INSTALLATION OF CITY BIKES

begin traverse on corner and make moderate/easy moves for about 10 feet. crux is blank blocks with no cracks.  climb up then left using reachy ledges, ridiculously shallow pockets and a thin crimpy edge. second crux is less strenous but also tricky.  1 resting block between the 2 hard problems

sustained and pumpy like most climbs in this area.  no distinct crux but only 2 good rests to chalk up.  starts on decent sized ledge and traverses right to all the way to the corner of coles and 6th.

very unique because of its location in the middle of downtown jersey city. rock is literally stone blocks built into a 25 foot vertical wall. blocks a are varied and irregular creating crimps, 2 finger sloping pockets, cracks (where grout has fallen out) and large slopers. rock quality ranges from high quality granite blocks (primarily on Coles, Mommouth and Jersey ave) to chossy sandstone with incredible sticky pockets. routes, as of now are all bouldering traverses though they can stretch for upwards of 50ft. Be prepared for strange looks from people
