5. Romance Novels

Less-than-vertical cliff with many features, some routes up to 60 feet tall.

Left (WNW) from the Good Book wall. Faces mainly SSW.

Top Rope access: The least difficult is to go around way left (NW) under next obvious cliff (Adventure Stories) and up steep through cleft (lat long approx N41.1465 W74.1673) on its Left side (could be dangerously slippery with wet leaves or ice) to reach top of cliffs. Then walk horizontal right (SE) about 150 ft to get above this sector, then down a little to edge of cliff - (Tree anchor with static line).

Another way might be to climb the route Northwest Passage

around the right end of the Adventure Strories rock, then traverse Right (E) along the top.

Or can scramble up around the Right side of this Romance Novels rock.

warning: The rock around this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
