Access Issue: As of November 2021, there are new parking arrangements. Please follow this guidance. Details

The current parking area is now limited parking, subject to the following guidelines:

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

Fun roof sequence. If only this were longer.

Find the easiest way up through the low roof, and up a little to a slanted rest just below a small overhanging prong by the left end of the big obvious roof. Next up the left side of the prong.
. Variation: Up the right side of the prong (harder and less fun).
. Variation: Diagonal out left from the prong (easier and still fun).
Finish up easier slab.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

Location

Low roof below left end of the obvious bigger "Proving Grounds" roof.

Protection

Standard rack for Trad leading.
Above the roof is run-out unprotectable but much easier than the lower part.

Top-Rope is straightforward to set up.
