Access Issue: Avoid walking on the train tracks whenever possible.
Details
The Conway Scenic Railroad will be active in Crawford Notch this winter. It is critically important for climbers to avoid walking on the train tracks whenever possible. Please do not leave packs, gear, or ropes on or near the rails, and avoid belaying near the tracks. Be prepared for trains to pass at any time, all winter.
The right of way for the railroad extends 50 feet on either side of the tracks, so while walking next to the tracks is likely safer, from the point of view of the railway it does not necessarily provide a solution. Ideally climbers should avoid being near the tracks whenever possible. We're requesting that climbers use alternative approach trails when it makes sense, such as in the case of the Frankenstein Cliff trail. If you do need to use the tracks, we want people to be aware of the situation, and to try not to spend excess time on them.

Description
This route is actually inside the first 100 feet of The Cleft. If you’ve ever seen the steep, ominous looking smear up the right wall and wondered, "what's that thing?" This is Out Of Touch. The start can be thin to non existent, but in fat years it has touched down. Start up a short gully and move left on candled ice to the main curtain, then climb straight up vertical ice to the top. The current rap anchor is a boulder slung with tat.
