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

Steeper low part has high-friction rock, holds wide enough but could be more positive. Higher part is dirty, perhaps a bit loose.

Perhaps no single move is harder than 3rd class, but pretty sustained and thoughful and somewhat exposed.

Scramble up left to the platform at the top of Harpoon Me. To reach top of routes to right, then ramp up to right.

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

Obvious left-trending diagonal gully just left from the big central alcove / chimney / cave.
