Access Issue: Peregrine Falcons in Maine
Details
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
The route is located on the large left portion of C Bluff and at the bottom the rock ramps. It is the start to C Monster, which ascends the full height of the bluff, mostly on slab. Extremely good laybacking and jamming make this the longest crack on the bluff so far.
P1: 110’ 5.8+ Start behind some trees and face climb straight up to the ledge at the base of the crack (There should probably be a bolt here). Layback though the wide crack to a good rest. Follow the excellent zig-zagging corner crack to it’s end. From here make a thin face move up to the rap anchor.
A 70m rope will just get you to the ground to the left of the route or continue on an adventure up C Monster.
