Description

Shady, narrow base with some mixed slab climbing. Only a few routes , all with two pitches. Rock quality is good, a few crumbly bits. Some run-out but usually on easy terrain, all cruxes are protected. Worth going to if you want to avoid crowds or learn/practice multi-pitch.

Getting There

Up the road from Upper Upper's parking area (Preston Pond trailhead) there is a turnout on the right (boulders). Don't park here, walk from the trailhead. Just across the street (west side) is a path heading through a nice open forest, down into a beaver's kingdom. From there, the slabs will be in front of your face, you just have to climb the slopes to get there. Go left when you reach the base to a narrow ledge, this is the start of the 3 climbs in the area.
