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 moves all the way (once you know where the good holds and positions are).
Up the wide crack to the top.
name? a quote from the 13-year-old boy narrator "drifting down the big, still river" together with a runaway slave -- in the first half of the American "good book" which showed the way for many others on the Great Books list.
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 - (and if possible, behind a large tree).
. . . (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).

I found the gear to be finicky and uninspiring, but the placement stances are great.
The movement on this climb was varied and fun. I recommend it but I would suggest caution to a less confident leader
Beta warning: I found the top part a bit confusing, but if you go straight up the notch it’s all there Jul 28, 2022
