Sector 2 is a bouldering area in Ramapo Valley County Reservation in New Jersey, on county land. It sits about 0.1 mile from two other bouldering spots, Quarantine and Easter Island Boulder, so it works well as part of a cluster of climbing destinations in the reservation. The area has three bouldering routes, all rated from V0 to V2-3 on the V scale. The easiest is Emergency medicine at V0, and the hardest is Finnegan's at V2-3, with Surfing Life at V1 in between. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Wanaque Raymond Dam show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F, with July peaking near 84°F. Hikers can reach Yellow; Schuber within half a mile, and the Ramapo River fishing access is about 2.6 miles away.
