Description
The most popular and among the most accessible climbing area in Bolton. This area is busy on weekends and apres work during the summer and fall.
Some great and very lead-able routes are located here. A-Minor, Tea in the Sahara, and Sticks and Stones are just a few examples of routes here that take great gear. If you plan to lead a route here during a busy time, make sure no one is setting up a TR above you--it's not pleasant to have a rope dropped on your head while above your gear.
Most routes can be top-roped easily with one 60-meter rope and a 50-foot length of static line except for a few routes on the center of the cliff. Anchors at the top of the cliff are plentiful using either bolts or large trees.
Getting There
Exit 11 (Richmond Exit) off of Interstate 89. Head east on Route 2 for roughly 6 miles into Bolton. Make a left onto Notch Road, which is located along the long, flat section of Route 2. Head up the road for roughly a 1/4 mile until you see an obvious small parking lot on the right. There is enough room in this lot to fit 3 cars, but spots are also available along the right hand side of the road.
Exit 10 (Waterbury Exit) off of Interstate 89. Head south on Route 100, 1/4 mile to the traffic circle. Take 1st exit from the traffic circle (Route 2 West), and follow Route 2 West about 9 miles until you reach Notch Road on your right. Head up Notch Road to parking, as described above.
