Acadia - Chamblain Mountain and the Precipice Trail by sjmurray 2010-09-15 United States Maine Bar Harbor Hiking 66 Views Like this Adventure Unlike this Adventure 0 Likes

An ascent of Champlain Mountain by the North Ridge Trail (formerly Bear Brook) and down the Precipice.

The Precipice is not to be underestimated! It involves vertical descents by iron rung ladders and narrow ledges with hand holds. In some place the rungs and handholds are missing so you need to be reasonably fit and agile to traverse this trail safely. But if you take the risk the exhilaration and views make the risk worthwhile.

After finishing the Precipice I thought never again - but hey - maybe go up it next year!
