Description Suggest change

This is the cliff across from Hurricane Crag on Route 9N. The cliff faces north, so has reliable ice until late in the season. It has several really good routes, such as Unexpected Pleasure, and Magic Line. Some hard mixed stuff too.

Getting There Suggest change

From the intersection of Route 9N and Route 73 in Keene, drive east on Route 9N for 4.5 miles. Look for the cliff up and right and park anywhere.

Drop over the guardrail, cross the stream, and head uphill to the cliff. No special landmarks. It takes about 30 minutes.
