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
Interesting outdoor roof, then a fun overhang sequence.
Mantle onto a ledge, then pull the small roof on the left side of a small prow. Scramble up to the obvious left-facing (overhanging) chimney on the left side of the larger high prow. Up the chimney, then easier slab to the top.
. . (hint: Likely more fun if avoid "burying" your body in the chimney).
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.
. . . (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).
Location
Under the obvious chimney on left side of high prow about ten feet right from the right end of the obvious big roof.

Protection
Top-Rope: The obvious tree anchor points above are far back from the top edge of the cliff here, so need a long static line to set up top anchor -- or some cleverness.

Protection for trad Leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
