"Saco Crossing" - further "upriver" than guidebook shows due to Irene changing the river banks. Flooding in Oct 2017 AGAIN changed the river and there is a large mid-river gravel island with uprooted trees about where the 3rd & 4th arrow is in this photo.

Crossing the shallowest part of the river still entailed some wading--6/10/18
This is pretty rough guide that I hope is helpful. It isn't to scale at all.

NOTE: Yellow shows a better route today (2018), crossing just below a gravel island with uprooted trees, then thru a 2nd part of the stream. Red shows the "pre-Irene" crossing. Once across, follow flags and faint trail to cliff.

I recommend a post climb swim in the Saco
