It's surrounded by W.M.N.F but the Shell Pond Crags are located on private property subject to a conservation easement held by Greater Lovell Land Trust. The owners and easement holders of the property have been gracious enough to allow climbing to occur on their land, but access is not guaranteed in the future. If you show up and there are numerous cars in the parking lot consider climbing at other nearby Evan’s Notch locations

Description
This route is really good. Start in the cave and boulder out left to a good hold. Make a few strenuous clips then move right on slopers. 2 big deadpoints in a row to massive hero jugs present the crux of the route. Pull onto a small ledge and get a shake. A few moves on good but smaller holds lead to a short finger crack. Here you make a tricky traverse left and up to the chains. The foot holds are good but it's tricky when you’re pumped and the fall is a swing, so get a shake in before the finish.
