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

Small area with some very good problems and a few routes. I think the area was originally climbed and developed by Bob Parrot.

Getting There

Take 95 to the Gray exit. Turn onto Route 26 west and follow it into Oxford. Turn right onto Route 121 and head north. About a mile or so down you'll pass a car parts store with a yard full of junked cars. Park at a pull-out on the right about 200 yards after the parts store. If you hit the Mechanic Falls town line you've gone a tiny bit too far. Park then cross the road to the railroad tracks. The quickest way in is to bushwhack about 100 yards straight back to some really big power lines. There you will see the slab and a free-standing boulder. Ascend the slope on either side of the slab to access the climbing and bouldeirng.
