Description Suggest change

This cliff keeps bubbling up into the ether of the collective consciousness, so it's here for the curious but you should know the following:

  • The rock is typical mica flecked deteroriating crap, typical of this part of the coast and found at many points along the islands and penninsulas.
  • People have been climbing here for a long time, you did not just get a first ascent. 
  • It's choss and not worth being publicized, plus access is somewhat tenuous, it benefits from being bad and off the grid but more traffic and attention would have a deleterious affect on the area and relationship with the town.
  • some ice does form here in the winter.

So takeaways. If you're from this part of Maine, if you live around here, it's an interesting place to poke around. It's definitely not a destination or worth your time, and please for the love of god don't waste time trying to bolt it. Just do a top rope or two, enjoy the experience of being in a hidden little pocket of the Maine coast, and move on.

Cheers!
