Welcome to Eagle Bluff
NOTE Sub-Areas Entrance Wall to Right End are organized Left > Right R Hall , Admin
Eagle Bluff is Clifton's most popular and well-known climbing area with over 130 sport and trad routes as well as a collection of boulders that hold over five dozen problems. Climbers of all kinds will find enjoyable lines. Trad cracks? Check. Hyper-technical slabs? Check. Overhanging sport climbs? Check. Multipitch? Check. Routes range from 5.easy to 5.12d with a few projects still waiting for an ascent. The boulder problems are mostly in the V0-V3 range, but there are a few unfinished lines and a handful of V5-V6s.
Access is secured and most of the anchors are brand new thanks to the efforts of the CCA. Please be sure to treat the land with respect. Fires are only permitted in designated rings, and are not allowed on the tops of the cliffs. Ground fires have occurred from people improperly putting out fires in places they shouldn't be.
There are now 3 signed parking lots!
North Lot - Park here to have quick access to the Practice Wall and the left end of Eagle Bluff. This is also the best way to access the summit. 10 minutes to the climbing.
Main Lot - Located between the North and South lots. This is a large gravel parking area that can accommodate multiple vehicles if the North lot is full, The large trail off this lot connects to the North lot trail and leads to the practice wall/ summit trails. 10 minute approach, most room for vehicles. Easy access to any part of the cliff, especially the practice wall and Main face/ roofs area.
South Lot - Park here to walk into the south trail boulders or to access the middle or right end of Eagle Bluff. Allow 8 minutes to the boulders or 12-15 to the cliffs.
Getting There
From the intersection of route 9 and 180, drive 2.6 miles south on route 180. The northern parking area will be on the left after about 2.5 miles, followed by the overflow parking and finally the southern parking area. If you reach Springy Pond Road you are in the vicinity of the parking areas but missed them all, which are back towards Route 9.
