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

Overhanging except for the central gully.
About 25 feet tall. Facing SW.

Top-Rope: One way to get access to set up an anchor using trees or rocks above top of this cliff is to walk about 100 feet right and scramble up. Another way is to climb up the central gully (5th class).

warning: The rock around this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

Getting There

First hike up on the usual trails to Basilisk sector, then walk WNW horizontally along the base of the low cliffs about 480 feet / 140 meters, passing by the Immelman and Strategic Air Command sectors.

See a gully surrounded by overhanging cracks.
