No parking weekdays before 4pm. (Use Saltbox Parking Area at these times).
Do not block pump station access gates at any time.
Be careful not to hit or disturb manholes or other infrastructure.
The Saltbox Parking Area is a new resource, available on weekdays and weekends. Don't bushwhack or create new trails from this area.
Torne Brook Road and the trailhead remain a no-parking area. This is to ensure access for emergency personnel.
Inconsiderate or illegal parking here could lead to permanent closure.
Description
Thoughtful "outdoor" moves up to the overhang, then fun "indoor" moves through the overhang, and a fun "outdoor" layback flake.
. . The start given here as the main route looks "unesthetic", but it would a shame to miss out on the fun of the upper three-quarters of this route if too tired after working on the more obvious Direct Start variation. Anyway the start from the right is interesting enough.
Start off to the right in the open book under the big roof, then traverse across the rounded ridge that goes up to the left edge of the big roof. So reach the crack/flake system midway. Up the double crack/flake, then through the overhang. Finish up to the ledge above (or just lower off after the layback flake).
variation (Direct Start): Start instead on the left side of the rounded ridge, directly below the crack/flake system, and figure out how to get a hand up into the bottom of the crack (5.9).
Location
Obvious crack about 5 feet left of the left end of 2-foot-wide roof about 15 feet up. This roof has Roofy Direct at its left end and
Thread the Gap at its right end.
But the easier start is off to right under the big roof.
