Saw some photos of a very cool looking wall on what appears to be private land on Craig Pond in Orland, Maine. Wondering if anyone knows of any lines put up in this area, maybe undeveloped rock that isn't privately owned, or any deep water soloing opportunities?

My guess is it's part of this: https://wjbq.com/10-million-maine-mansion-is-the-ultimate-upscale-wilderness-sanctuary-of-every-outdoorsmans-dreams/

And that's why so many climbers move west...

Yeah I figured as much. Thanks Peter. Might still go paddling up there and check it out, at worst it'll be a nice day on a lake.

I would look at the potential up on the summit. Bouldering maybe?

Looks like a beautiful spot!
