Eagles Crag

Maine > -Acadia NP
Warning Access Issue: Annual Trail Closures to protect Peregrine falcons DetailsDrop down

Description

Though one of Acadia's more obscure crags it hosts a good collection of routes with climbs ranging from 5.9 to 5.12. A great cliff if your looking to beat the crowds at Otter Cliffs or the South Wall.

Getting There

The cliff can be approached from the trail head for the South Ridge of Cadillac Mountain. Follow the trail for about 1.0 mile to a trail marker for Eagles Crag. A faint climbers trail will be seen to the right that leads to the base of the wall.

[Hide Comment] I read somewhere that a new 5.9 sport route has been added to this wall. Is that accurate? It's not reflected in the Rakkup guidebook. Thanks! Aug 9, 2021
