Season Peregrine Falcon Closures MORE INFO >>> Access is limited in the spring and summer due to peregrine falcon nesting; so there are some closures. Checking with the Adirondack Climbers Coalition or the NYDEC can provide the closure status. 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 

This route is marked by an 8 foot high right leaning ramp. The top of the ramp gives way to a splitter hand crack with a pine tree growing out of it 30 feet up. Jam the crack past the tree until the crack widens (3.5-4). Exit the crack to gain a clean slab with a finger crack at its top. Climb the finger crack to the slung pine tree. NOTE:**This line is an absolute rope stretcher. It can be safely rappelled with a 60 meter rope but one should NOT be lowered while the gear is still in place as this substantially decreases the available length of the rope. The leader WILL lower off the end! A top belay is advised.
