Thoughtful interesting low crux, then interesting moves above. 

  Start up arete/nose to top of low 6-7 ft block. Step forward to left-side face. Start up about two feet right from its left edge. Keep going up staying within six feet of the edge. 

warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near 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).

First some interesting moves on an unusual rock structure, then a tricky crux crossover. 

  Diagonal up left on a fin of rock which runs below the arete which forms the left edge of the main face of this sector. Higher up, cross over (crux) to R side of arete.

Nice enough moves, but short sequence much harder. 

  Roughly straight up the vague ridge to the top - (crux is moving up from wide ledge about 8ft off ground).

Nice enough moves, but short sequence much harder than the rest. 

  Start up left side of 7-ft-high low block to wide ledge below main face. Next up thin crack to ramp (crux). Diagional right up ramp, then leave ramp (not using small block at top of ramp, or the obvious big hold above it), finish straight up and mantle up onto right side of small top block.

Sustained thoughtful outdoor moves. 

  Start up 6-ft-high low block. Next up thin crack. Finish with mantle onto left side of small top block.

Some worthwhile outdoor moves. 

  . . (the right arete of left-side face). 

  Start up right side of right face of low 6-7ft block. Step forward to arete between right-side face and central open book / dihedral. Up the arete, then up the face above.

Sustained thoughtful moves on non-positive holds. 

  Start up inside right-facing corner onto top of low 6-7ft block. Step forward to face. Up the right side of the left-side face, not using any holds within one foot of its right edge.

Nice enough moves, with a thoughtful traverse. 

  Up crack about five feet, then a couple of steps Left onto ramp. Easier up to the top, trending a bit right. 

  Variation 1: Start instead about four feet Left of corner/crack, and work hands up Left on ramp (5.7). 

  Variation 2: Start instead about four feet Left of corner/crack and get hands on ramp -- then instead move hands Left to beyond steeper part of ramp, then up onto gentler part of ramp (5.8).

Variety of moves, with one much harder crux move. 

  - - > Very height/reach dependent. Much harder for climber much less tall than 5ft6in w normal reach. 

  Up onto 6-ft-high block to right of vague gully. Next step up Left into gully (crux). Straight up to and over the little roof.

Some real arete moves, using holds on both sides of the edge. 

  . . (the left arete of right-side face). 

  Start on 7-ft-high low block. Up the arete. Finish on the left arete of the small top block.

Real dihedral moves, with thought required. 

  Up the open book / dihedral (with extra points for not using the crack in its right-side face), then up right-side face to top.

Slab 20-30 feet high. Mainly faces South. 

  Not tall, but nice that can do so many interesting lines TR with static line from one or two tree anchors. 

  Top-Rope: To get access to the top of the cliff, can scramble up around the left side or the right side. Or if already have a top anchor set up on Manayunk, can traverse over from there. 

warning: Loose rock is still a concern in this sector. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.
