Climb the break in the right side of the slab on to a bulge. Place tricky gear recite the route name (Y-Me) and follow path of least resistance to an over hang with a crack. Pull up through the crack using large hand holds.

This is one of the furthest right climbs on the main face. Climb up a broken corner/ steps to a left to right facing 15' hand/finger crack. Place your pro and step left out on the face. Make some great moves and top out. Sometimes dirty.

Climb the awkward crystal pocket right of Learning Curve. Placing protection here could take your good holds. Put together the sequence to stand tall and exit to a good hold and another arch. Place pro and climb to the top of cliff.

Follow the large prominent arch in the center of the cliff to a few face moves then follow the short crack out the bulge to the right.   This route was 5.7 and I have upgraded it to 5.8 as a hold broke and getting up to the arch is a little tough.

Locate the low overhang/Bulge in center of cliff. Usually a Swallows bird nest marks the start. **Please do not disturb in the spring, if possible** 

  Make a crimp move (also a small TCU) and pull over lip to a large hold. Continue up horizontals to a tree. Usually dirty but becomes better in late season. Protects well.

Lake ledges is on the Northern tip of Massabesic lake in a great location. It is about 40' tall at its highest point and about 200' long. The cliff is shaded by trees and requires a day or 2 to dry after rain in the Spring to Summer months.   NOTE: This cliff has been climbed for many years and is mostly top roped. The addition of bolts anywhere is unnecessary and may be illegal. All bolts previously placed in past years have been chopped. 

  See Access marked at all entrance's. Manchester water supply. 

  All top ropes can be setup by hiking the left or right side to the top. I think the left side is much easier and straight forward. Don't forget to enjoy the view from the top.
