Landscape Narrative	Downslope is rocky mixted evergreen-deciduous forest with Quercus muhlenbergia, Tsuga (dying), Pinus strobus over lush shrub and herb layer. Cliff rock is acidic, but may be underlaid by limestone. Area is popular climbing, swimming, party spot.;Horizontally and vertically fissured sandstone cliff, shaded by trees at bottom includes small overhangs and ledges. Vegetation is dominated by lichens but herbs, Dicentra exima and Arabis lyrata, are also conspicuous and distinctive. Cliff Characteristics; 20 m tall, 20 % ledges, 10% overhangs.
Representativeness	Small patch, but large for type~continues, with somewhat different aspects, in both directions. This plot seems minimally trampled at base - little climbed?
