Eagle Bluff Climbing

NOTE Sub-Areas Entrance Wall to Right End are organized Left > Right R Hall , Admin

Eagle Bluff is maintained for climbing by the Clifton Climber's Alliance. When the cliff was for sale and access was in peril, climbers banded together to purchase the property and make sure the land was publicly accessible. Since 2014, the CCA has been maintaining approach trails, replacing old anchors and bolts, cleaning boulders, publishing the Eagle Bluff guidebook, putting up new routes, and continuing to make sure the property stays accessible to local and visiting climbers. The CCA continues to negotiate for permanent access to the other climbing resources in the Central Maine area. 

The best way to support the CCA is to sign up for a membership or donating. Funds go towards purchasing hardware and maintaining the property. You can do so on the CCA website: https://www.cliftonclimbersalliance.org/join

Please treat the land with respect, and kindle no fires. 

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 range from V0 to V8 scattered across the property.
