Usually climbing buildings is frowned upon by police, security, the general public and your mom. MORE INFO >>> Watch out. There is no need to climb a building in a situation where you feel like you may get caught. The more people that are caught buildering, the more people that will be on the watch for builderers. In trying to establish new routes, scout out the line of least resistance, and give a shot when you least expect to be caught. LEAVE NO TRACE, as if it were Maine's last remaining forest. The more traces, the more people will notice builderers. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Go to the back of the IGA building. Look for the large metal staircase. Once you're on top of the stairs, use the hinges/doorknob and railing to ascend the additional 6 ' to the actual roof. Easy, and short.

NOTE: It would be possible to go from the backside of the railing and jump to a cat-grab on the wall next to the stairs. This has not been done yet.

Location 

Get down by lowering off the edge of the roof and finding the holds with your feet, or just dropping onto the large platform.

Protection 

No crash pad necessary. (May want a crash pad for the optional cat-grab)
