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
Start below left, downhill from the obvious wide dihedral directly below the crack.
. (Variation: Start in the wide dihedral, but that's less fun and likely more difficult and a shorter climb).
Up the face trending a bit left-ward to reach the obvious mid-height ledge. Then up the vertical crack to the top (perhaps making use of another angling off its right side).
warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.
. . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
. . (This route was once called "Poison Ivy", but it deserves better than that).
Location
Obvious vertical crack above obvious ledge at mid-height across the right half of main wall. Above a seven-foot wide dihedral / open book on a small ledge which is uphill from the flat base of the left half of the main wall.
