Big Lost Cove Cliffs are closed to climbing due to the local falcon population
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.
There are several broken up areas here. The first wall you'll likely come to has a few short and steep juggy routes, complete with some wild chicken heads. Whisk Briskly 'til Stiff is the best one here. Continue further east about 100 yards to locate the rest of the routes. The best trad line there is a route called "well done", and is 5.7+ or so.
