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
Another long and varied pitch. This route is given the curious grade of 10d/11a in the book. If you’re shorter it will likely feel harder.
Start just right of the large overhang and climb a fairly non descript face to the high first bolt, move left through easy terrain a clip another high bolt beneath an overhang. Bust out the roof with long reaches between big holds, gaining another ledge. Move up to a spectacular dike feature with huge quartz crystals. Burly laybacking on crystals (way cool) will see you through the dike to another stance. Climb a final crux through a black face to easier ground, and romp to a 2 bolt anchor with Mussy Hooks.
The varied nature of each crux, as well as the number of rests you get, make this a great warm up for the area.
