Access Issue: Peregrine Falcons in Maine
Details
Maine Peregrine Falcons breeding season extends from mid-March through July or August. Hiking or climbing near nesting peregrines can cause abandonment and death of eggs/young. If adults are away from the nest, eggs or young can become overheated, chilled, or chicks can miss feedings. Be on the lookout for agitated falcons that may vocalize, take avoidance flights, or dive-bomb those that are too close. If you encounter an aggressive peregrine falcon please immediately leave the area, and report incidents to Erynn Call, State Raptor Specialist, MDIFW, erynn.call@maine.gov.

Description
This striking overhanging arete on the NE corner of the rock is the true king line of the boulder. Interesting holds, varied movement, and a little spice at the top add up to a great climb at the grade.
Start sitting with your left hand on a good rail and right on a crimp on the arete. Pinch and slap your way up the blunt edge with the help of crimps on the face until you hit a good jug slot below the nose of the overhanging prow. Make your way up and left, climbing out of the overhang and onto the headwall. Top out at the end of the arete.
