Access Issue: Peregrine Falcons in Maine
Details
Maine Peregrine Falcons breeding season extends from mid-March through July or August. Hiking or climbing near nesting peregrines can cause abandonment and death of eggs/young. If adults are away from the nest, eggs or young can become overheated, chilled, or chicks can miss feedings. Be on the lookout for agitated falcons that may vocalize, take avoidance flights, or dive-bomb those that are too close. If you encounter an aggressive peregrine falcon please immediately leave the area, and report incidents to Erynn Call, State Raptor Specialist, MDIFW, erynn.call@maine.gov.

Description
A moderate gully route with some steeper ice/mixed at the start and a longer moderate ice/snow second pitch. Located in a narrow hidden gully which splits the rock of the right hand side of the chimney gully, this route is tucked away behind the AMC route headwall.

P2: Moderate snow and or ice to termination of gully at rock headwall. Belay on rock gear around right at base of rock.
Descent: Scramble up and walk off via chimney trail with one rappel into chimney gully or rappel the route.
