Access Issue: As of November 2021, there are new parking arrangements. Please follow this guidance. Details

The current parking area is now limited parking, subject to the following guidelines:

No parking weekdays before 4pm. (Use Saltbox Parking Area at these times).
Do not block pump station access gates at any time.
Be careful not to hit or disturb manholes or other infrastructure.

The Saltbox Parking Area is a new resource, available on weekdays and weekends. Don't bushwhack or create new trails from this area.

Torne Brook Road and the trailhead remain a no-parking area. This is to ensure access for emergency personnel.

Inconsiderate or illegal parking here could lead to permanent closure.

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.
