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
Another nice "practice" area.
Several nice flows cascade down from a flat-topped area (Think a smaller version of the area at Frankenstein around Pegasus and Chia). Most can be top roped, although you may want to lead the easiest route to get to the flat top area.
A nice "slot" route on the far left.

Getting There
Park at a pull out / logging road about 1/2 mile north of the AT Parking lot.
Follow the logging road about 150 ft to a turn-off trail on the left. Follow this through a boggy area and then for another 20-30 minutes to the flows. If you've not been there and the trail is not broken it may be a challenge, made more so because the GPS co-ordinates I entered is a bit of a "guess" (The crag is only about 80ft high and doesn't show well on the map.)
