Description
Top-Roping and bouldering in the midst of the Yankee Ramparts West area.
Mostly easier routes, 25-40 feet high.
Quiet atmosphere because there's a big hump between the cliff and the Thruway.
Top-Roping: With a static line off an obvious tree, could access six different routes from the same anchor.
Access the top of the cliff: One way is to walk flat NorthWest about 90 feet, then turn right and start hiking up in toward the next cliff sector, and find a narrow gully diagonal going up right-ward.

Getting There
First hike up on the usual trails to Basilisk wall, then walk WNW horizontally along the base of the low cliffs about 880 feet / 270 meters, passing by the Revolutionary Ramparts West and Yankee Ramparts East areas, then passing under a gentler non-cliff "bowl", then past the Vulnerability sector, before reaching this sector.
