No parking weekdays before 4pm. (Use Saltbox Parking Area at these times).
Do not block pump station access gates at any time.
Be careful not to hit or disturb manholes or other infrastructure.
The Saltbox Parking Area is a new resource, available on weekdays and weekends. Don't bushwhack or create new trails from this area.
Torne Brook Road and the trailhead remain a no-parking area. This is to ensure access for emergency personnel.
Inconsiderate or illegal parking here could lead to permanent closure.
Description
Hard moves up to first bolt using tiny crack to ledge. Follow bolt line using small edges and crimps to under cling 3/4 of the way up. Some negative holds bring you past last bolt to traverse right to anchors.
Location
Start below brighter orange block with a crack on its right hand side. The crack and jug below it are well protected from rain and stay chalky. Follow the bolt line up and to the left.
Protection
6 bolts and 2-bolt anchor. 8 quick draws.
This route can also be safely led on gear. 0.3 camalot 2ft below the second bolt followed by a #2 at the ledge and a #1 to the left of the crux.
The steel bolts and hangers on this route are a holdover from before this area was legally opened for climbing. This hardware has not been maintained by the TVCC or Harriman Park, so whether or how to use them or not is your own responsibility.
