Access Issue: Avoid walking on the train tracks whenever possible.
Details
The Conway Scenic Railroad will be active in Crawford Notch this winter. It is critically important for climbers to avoid walking on the train tracks whenever possible. Please do not leave packs, gear, or ropes on or near the rails, and avoid belaying near the tracks. Be prepared for trains to pass at any time, all winter.
The right of way for the railroad extends 50 feet on either side of the tracks, so while walking next to the tracks is likely safer, from the point of view of the railway it does not necessarily provide a solution. Ideally climbers should avoid being near the tracks whenever possible. We're requesting that climbers use alternative approach trails when it makes sense, such as in the case of the Frankenstein Cliff trail. If you do need to use the tracks, we want people to be aware of the situation, and to try not to spend excess time on them.

Description
This is a great route that offers a challenge if you want to pass time while waiting for Upper Hitchcock. P1: Depending on conditions it is tough to leave the ground as the first 30 feet is usually thin and deceiving. Climb the first half to a shelf (Ice is not present in some years). Continue up a steep corner stemming or what ever may work for the conditions. Exit and use a tree anchor.P2: Walk uphill to the next rock band. Climb the steep pillar above.
Location
This route is located 20' left of Upper Hitchcock. Thin slab to a steep corner. Climb Lower Hitchcock Gully or Left Hand Monkey Wrench. Continue left to Upper Hitchcock. You can easily hike up and right eventually meeting up with the Upper Hitchcock summit trail. Follow the trail to the AMC or rappel via lower Hitchcock.
