Trail goes around Wallace Pond and has a really remote feeling to it. The North side of the pond has lines near the pond, and lines up away from the pond a bit. Lots of tech and climbs.
The route crosses the dam on the north end of the pond and climbs the steep hill on the other side. This section the trail is in really rough shape and is hard to follow until you get to the Gate 1 Access trail.
The west end of the pond has a big hill climb with a downhill line cutting off a climbing line that's been bench cut and is in pretty good shape. There is also an awesome rock garden challenge at the top of the hill.
It's a pretty long and tough trail, but it's great, a hidden gem if you have the skill and endurance for it. If you like Cape Ann trails, you'll probably love this one.

      		 Multiple of trees down along the trail. Don't think it's been used much lately which makes the trail hard to follow.
