Description 

This crag is unknown and waiting to be developed. At up to 150 feet tall it is the only sizable cliff between Camden and the White Mountains south of Bangor. It streches almost 1/4 mile in length, and its solid granite face features everything but slabs. Just 5 min from BNAS and 1/2 hr from Portland, this area should be mid-coast Maine's most popular crag.


Getting There 

From Cooks Corner in Brunswick, head south on rt 24. Take a right on Mountain rd. Take a right on Upton rd(dirt). Go right at the fork and park in the unfinished houselot at the end of the road. Exit the lot on foot to the left down a dirt road. Follow this trail til you see a sign announcing a possible right into a "fairy house building zone" Explore the fairy village as you follow the trail. Shortly you will come to another sign warning of a 150 foot drop. just past the sign you will emerge on to the cliff top. Rap here or follow the cliff top left to a gully that is negotiable to the bottom. The cliff streches in both directions. Total approach time is about 10 minutes.
