Access Issue: Peregrine Falcons in Maine Details

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

The "Red Letter" 5.7 *** seems to be THE climb on this wall, of course then there's the Great Chimney itself. (5.7 zero stars)

Getting There

From the trail at the lower parking lot hike into the amphitheater, hang a left and continue past the fixed line leading to the 2nd tier (I have to say, I don't remember seeing this in 2019 )
