Access Issue: As of June 2017, the trail and parking are closed from 4 PM Friday through 7 AM Monday.
Details
Due to overcrowding and private land issues, the town of Keene and local landowners have come to a compromise regarding the parking on Owls Head Lane, and use of the trail to Owls Head Mountain, which crosses private land. The parking and trail are hereby closed on weekends, from 4 PM Friday through 7 AM Monday. The trail will be permanently closed at the end of the 2017 hiking season.
Description
This is the most direct continuation of Breeze Crack. If you want a proper cliff-top-rope this would be the most direct line as Breeze Crack ends on a ledge about midway up the cliff. Reach the inviting looking hand crack at the top guarded by a blank looking face. A horizontal crack provides good protection before wishing for the best. Maybe convince your belayer to jump back in case of a fall. I used my feet to wipe off lichen and locate smears. Probably easier with less lichen. Will stick to top-rope next time.
There are good features at the top for building an anchor.
