Route overview

De lus klimt Mansell Mountain via de door de CCC aangelegde Perpendicular Trail, met honderden stenen treden, enkele ijzeren sporten en een kleine ladder. De afdaling over Razorback Trail is rotsig, wortelrijk en rustiger dan veel oostelijke Acadia-routes.

Safety context

Natte granieten treden, ladder en rungs maken de beklimming gevaarlijk bij regen, ijs of duisternis. De Razorback-afdaling is steil en ongelijk. Vermijd de route bij onweer en houd rekening met beperkte mobiele dekking.
