Maine > -Acadia NP > Canada Cliff > Canada Cliff Rock

Description

One of the few easy moderates worth doing. Climb cracks in the corner (perfect foot and hand jams are possible) up into a chimney. Top out at tree ledge.

Protection

Hand sized cams (BD 2-3) work well for the cracks in the bottom half. The easy chimney is run out.

[Hide Comment] I did the FA in the early 1980s with Dan Koch. Second route on the cliff (after Russian Revolution). The cracks were completely choked with dirt and ferns, which I cleaned out on the lead. Nov 26, 2017

[Hide Comment] Two or three shallow placements up high make it PG-G rated at the top. Good climb. Aug 29, 2018
