Description

A small cliff towards the left of the Tanager Face.

Note that this is not a good location for large groups or crag dogs. The top of these cliffs is a large scree field and it is easy to knock off rocks and broken branches onto individuals below!

The rappel station is on the low end of the ledge to the far left. This rappel is some old tat, a new cordelette, and a steel ring that has seen better days. This rappel should be replaced soon with new webbing and rings! In addition, the tree anchor after P1 for Cheap Date 5.4 is unusable tat. Likely the other stations need similar replacement here!

Getting There

Park at chapel pond and walk around the left side of the pond between the slab / aquarium and the beaver dams. There are trails, but they are hard to find. Continue up trails at the base of the mountain. The path veers right for the Tilman / Shipton area and left for Old Route / Cheap Date / Tanager Face areas. Turn towards the left and follow up the trail past the turn for Tanager cliffs.

Take the steeper trail towards an obvious rock face on the right, probably 50ft past the turn for Tanager Face.
