This is the nice scenery you will be climbing by


Description 

A variety of cliffs and boulders that still need to be developed. The rock consists of granite that can be sometimes a little crumbly because it has not been climbed much. This is very secluded with nice views of ponds and a small stream.

Every cliff at this area is toprope only as of right now but I would love if they could get bolted and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to think that


Getting There 

If you can get to Canaan, NH you take Canaan St. Lake Rd. out past the lake go down the long hill when you come to the bottom keep going straight four about 20-30 minutes you will see a pond on your right with a house above it a little ways before the pond you will see a pull off either park there or drive up past the driveway to find two more little pull offs if those are full then drive five or so more minutes down the road to a ski area and park in their parking lot and walk up to the path you can't miss the path it's about 30 ft. left of the driveway

THIS IS A PRIVILEGE TO HAVE THIS CLIMBING AREA OPEN TO US JUST BE KIND AND RESPECTFUL TO IT

BE RESPECTFUL OF THIS LAND

TAKE OUT TRASH THAT YOU TOOK IN, IF YOU SEE ANY TRASH CARRY IT OUT ALSO

TREAT IT LIKE YOU WOULD TREAT ANY CLIMBING AREA

ALSO KEEP IN MIND IF BOTH PARKING SPOTS ARE TAKEN UP AND YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK THE LONG WAY TO THE CLIFFS WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T PARK IN THE ROAD YOU COULD GET TOWED OR GET A TICKET OR MAKE THE OWNER PISSED AND SHUT US DOWN

THIS IS A SENSITIVE AREA SO IF YOU THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE THAN TRY EARLIER THE NEXT DAY OR SOMETHING JUST WORK ON NOT HAVING HUGE GROUPS AND TONS OF PEOPLE UP THERE FOR SAKE OF KEEPING THE AREA OPEN TO CLIMBERS

There might be an access issue I'm not sure yet but just be careful if you are going to Pickledish Wall.

I know Tim has already stressed this but I would also like to add my two cents.

Please respect this wonderful place by leaving no trace, respect the directions given although there is an easier way to get there please follow his directions or access may become an issue. Please do not bolt anything here, for we do not have permission from the land owner and we would like to keep this place open to climbing. Respect this place like it is a crag in you backyard, you wouldn't want people trashing it or breaking your rules.
