Getting There

This lies next west of Hammond Pond and is west of the Upper Walls. It is probably best to park close to the south side of Hammond Pond. However, you could access it from Bloomingdale's Mall. From the parking south of Hammond Pond, take the dirt road and go left at the first fork. Continue to the next fork and then hike north along a dirt road. This should put you at the crag.
