Hall's Ledge Rock Climbing

From North Conway drive north on 16 towards Mt. Washington. Park at the Rocky Branch Parking Area located about 1/2 mile north of Dana Place. The crag can be seen across the street from the parking lot (it doesn't look like much).

When the river is low: cross the highway and head down the bank to the Ellis. Cross the river and head straight up an obvious gully with boulders in it to the base of the crag. It will take about 15 minutes from the car to crag.

See COMMENTS- the fine folk at the Wildcat Townhouses don’t like people parking at the sandy pull out that marks the beginning of their access road. 

When the river is high: from the Rocky Branch Parking Area walk back south down the highway to the bridge and cross over the river. Hop the guardrail on the left (Hall's Ledge Trail Sign, down below...out of sight when driving on the highway). Follow the trail for 0.1 miles to a small field. Walk left (north) on a faint logging road staying on the ridge above the river. After about 5 +/- minutes the path curves around to the right and then climbs pretty much straight uphill, usually moving slightly left. (This approach is generally to the right of the gully-with-boulders used before about 2013). Even in dense summer foliage you should see the Pinnacle Block appear on your left. This approach will take approx. 25 min.

The dirty slab to the left has a couple of routes which were not really cleaned, but they do exist.

To get to the other areas hike steeply up along the far right of the Pinnacle Block area, after about 50-75 ft cut back left and after another 50-75 ft you are in a sort of "amphitheater". To get to the top of Upper Slabs and Cracks stay left and continue to the top of the slabs. (Rap in to STARTs of the climbs) Top get to Golden Wall and Magnum Block move right and up out of the "amphitheater" and you'll come to Golden Wall, Magnum Block is to the left, on the same level.
