I am heading to High Point (New Jersey) tomorrow, as well as Mt. Marcy. I will add to the site when I return, including photos with my new digital camera, and maybe some added information. I'll beef up the site for you. The area seems like it is very pretty.
Definitely pretty (at least for something within a hundred miles of NYC). More photos and such would be great. My only experience in the area was in the dead of winter and mostly in the wee hours at that.
Charles, I just hiked HighPoint, NJ, and the Appalachian Trail goes towards the summit for a mile, and then turns away from the summit. I had to turn back, and then turn off the AT, go down the road, and go up the road to the summit. There were trails, to the summit from off the AT. I can't tell you exact directions, because your directions kind of got me lost, no offense. Since you are the maintainer, you should probably find a website that showes correct directions, or specify your directions, or get rid of them or else others will get lost. Thanks.
No idea, sorry. We camped on a small bluff a couple miles 'south' of the road crossing near High Point, but I don't remember if it was steep enough or tall enough to top rope. The bluff was on the eastern side above a small pond.

Untitled CommentNo problem and thanks for pointing out the deficiencies. Like I said, it was dark at the time and about 2am. I'll see what I can find.
