Access Issue: BOTH the trails and the cliffs are on private property. Please "go lightly" and read the details.
Details
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
If you like climbing at the Gunks, this is the climb for you. Moderate climbing, easy clipping, but LOTS of exposure. Quite a route!
The start is steep and pumpy on gray rock, but the holds are pretty big. Some might find this to be the crux. Head straight up to the very obvious corner system, and at the top of the corner, swing out left (airy!) and clamber up to a big bulge at the end. Getting left and over the bulge presents a final test.
It's not called Chicken of the Sea for nothing.
Location
There's a big, wide, often wet fissure that runs straight to the top of the crag (with a gnarly offwidth climb, Pride and Joy, halfway up it). Pollo Del Mar climbs the arete just to the left of the big fissure, and up through the smooth corner that is very apparent from the bottom of the climb.
