East Side Rock Climbing

The Ten Degree Wall is located on a 17,000 acre private plot owned and maintained by a local forestry management company. They have been kind enough to grant public access to the land but it is important to remember that climbing at The Ten Degree Wall is a privilege and not a right. In return for granting access, they simply ask that visitors respect the private forests and the people working there. This land is actively being logged and roadways are being maintained. You can expect to see logging and road-maintenance crews in the area - please be respectful of them, never block the roads, and make a conscious effort to stay out of their way.

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.
