Been 10 years but remember ATO in Doylestown, if they are still there and selling gear. Nesters in Quakertown or was it Allentown. REI in Conshohocken. Philly Rock Gym in Valley Forge. EMS in Radnor. Base Camp in Philly. Some of these may be out of business by now.

Nothing terribly close, but if you're desperate the best options are Doylestown Rock Gym (ok selection but inconvenient hours) and the EMS on 611 in Warrington, PA (decent selection but quite a ways away). There's another EMS in Princeton, but I've never been there so can't comment on their selection
Depending where you are in NJ heading up to Campmor would beforehand would be a better idea.
BTW, Nestors in Quakertown closed a couple years ago and the EMS in Radnor and the Philly Rock Gym barely hve anything gear-wise. The REI in Conshohocken has the basics if you're just looking for cord/webbing/biners/etc.

Depending on where youre coming from, there is a Nestors still open in Whitehall (just north of Allentown)
The selection isnt what it once was, but it has basic stuff, QDs, trad packs, ropes, harnesses, shoes, that type of stuff. Everything you'd need for Stover. Great people working there too.

You can go to Doylestown Rock Gym (611 & 313). It's got the gear you would need for Ralph Stover. It's about 20 minutes from the park.

EMS Princeton, EMS Warrington, EMS Bridgewater all have a good selection. You can go online and shop, select quick pick up to see if it is in the store or not, in case you don't want to be bothered by calling. However there is sometimes stuff in the stores that is not online. Some of the employees guide at Stover, you can ask if one is working that day if you are in the store.
