Access Issue: As of November 2021, there are new parking arrangements. Please follow this guidance.
Details
The current parking area is now limited parking, subject to the following guidelines:
No parking weekdays before 4pm. (Use Saltbox Parking Area at these times).
Do not block pump station access gates at any time.
Be careful not to hit or disturb manholes or other infrastructure.
The Saltbox Parking Area is a new resource, available on weekdays and weekends. Don't bushwhack or create new trails from this area.
Torne Brook Road and the trailhead remain a no-parking area. This is to ensure access for emergency personnel.
Inconsiderate or illegal parking here could lead to permanent closure.

Description
Up the crack (not using the block to right), and up to the top. A bit of a one-move-wonder, but the crux is interesting enough.
warning: The rock around this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
Location
Obvious curvy-vertical crack 23 ft of right end of the Harpoon + Ahab alcove roof, just left of 12-ft-high block which is 35-40 ft left of base of the left-diagonal descent gully (just left of the giant deep alcove).
Protection
Protection for Trad leading is unknown -- though apparently someone did it once (perhaps when the rock was different?).
For ideas to set up Top-Rope, see the description of The Good Book sector.
. . (likely easiest with a long static line to reach some tree set way back from the top of the cliff).
