Access Issue: This area is closed to public use, each year, during February 15 - July 31 to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons. Details

The closure area includes all cliffs and trails south of the abandoned Artmore Plastics building.
Peregrine Falcons are a state and federally protected bird.
Human disturbance can cause nest abandonment and the loss of eggs and chicks.
Viewing the Peregrines is possible from along the Great Allegheny Passage Trail as it passes through The Cumberland Narrows.

Description

Far left side: start about 12' left of a large pine tree growing against the base of the buttress. Climb the white face up a crack and corner system that ascends diagonally to the left. Follow this up to the big roof and skirt it on the left or right side. The roof is actually the bottom of a huge truck-size boulder perched on top of a huge ledge (the Millennium Falcon?)- follow this ledge to the very left end then climb straight up and over the left end of the top roof.
