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
This is an amazing bouldering problem located at the base of the ridge before the hike up from the pond to the Crag. Bushwack to the right before the hike up and you will find a white granite overhanging roof. Start on the corner where the roof meets the base of the wall, fire up to the overhanging arete, then to a small hold on the face of the overhang. From here slap and move into position to throw for the outer edge of the roof for a wild finish! FA/SA 2004.
