Essential crag checks
Access, closures, permits & safety
Contact the Little Falls city clerk for rock-climbing permit paperwork before visiting. Reach Moss Island from the Lock E17 approaches; the Seeley Street side avoids the steep stair access from Route 169.
The heritage corridor identifies the Moss Island climbers' parking along Seeley Street before the Lock E17 parking area. Keep canal operations and access roads clear.

About this crag
Arrange paperwork in advance instead of assuming the canal's public walking access removes climbing requirements. The national heritage corridor describes access from Seeley Street/Canal Place or the Route 169 side; the latter includes a steep stairway at the lock.
Recommended equipment
Bring equipment appropriate to the climbing style and local conditions. A helmet is strongly recommended.
