Description Suggest change

A short, forested area tucked into the woods just above West Side Rd in North Conway. Routes vary from traditional slab to very steep sport and mixed routes. A great place for moderate top-roping with easy access to the top of the cliff and many trees for anchors.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive north on West Side Rd past Humphreys for 0.7 miles. There is a dirt pull-out on the left side of the road and a ledgy outcropping above this. There is also easy access to the Saco from the same pull out which is on a bend in the road. The cliff is hidden in the trees.
Hike up the steep and dirty trail for about two minutes (very short) and you are there.
