Description

Now that it is clean, this unassuming, previously lichen-covered slab has revealed some of the best routes outside Redrock on Cape Ann. There isn’t much by way of handholds, but the low angle and the featured rock keep the grades fairly moderate. If you are on the northshore and you like slabs, this is an excellent spot.

There are two bolts at the top that work as an anchor for all three climbs. You have to do little easy scramble up the backside to gain the top.

Getting There

This is between the Cracker Crag and the Lot Crag. Look for it a few hundred feet on your left coming from Cracker Crag and right after a path that goes up to Mount Ann and South Dome.
