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.

Parking Regulations as of November 2021

Description

Outdoorsy (awkward?) low sequence leads to fun (indoorsy?) upper sequence.

Up overhanging blocks below right from crack to wide ledge. Move left to crack, and up that to the top.

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).

Location

Below irregular wide crack starting about 8-10 feet up in wall just right of the gully.

Protection

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.

For ideas to set up Top-Rope, see the Description of this Alexander Hamilton sector.
