Description

Seems like you've read about this place in Climbing Magazine and come to see what all the fuss is about? Lone Rock Point is a mid 5.13 climber's paradise. Well, as long as your idea of paradise involves a lot of variations and the occasional glued hold. Nevertheless, LRP is a gorgeous beautiful dolostone cliff that hangs above Lake Champlain just north of Burlington. Quality climbing here starts at 5.12 with a large number of 5.13 variations. A few 5.14 variations top out the sent projects with one major unknown project still left. It's worth noting that this area only has one "5.10" and it's hard.

A truly unique New England climbing experience.

Most routes require a stick clip.

Getting There

Two parking options:

(1) Park in the lot directly across from "Rock Point North Community Garden" (you can search for this on google maps).

(2) Pay to park at North Beach. Then walk to the north end of the beach to a stone staircase which will take you to the trails. ~5 mins faster.

Access

In order to maintain climbing access for years to come, please follow the following guidelines:

*The best thing climbers can do so support access to this incredible climbing area is to donate to Rock Point Commons. Donate at this link. If you've climbed here even once, please consider donating.

*Sign in at the kiosk and utilize the marked trail to reach the cliff. Sign out when leaving.\

*Lone Rock Point is only open during daylight hours for climbing.

*No camping or fires are permitted. Leave no trace.

*Do not bolt anything. This would ruin climber relations with the diocese.

*Abide by closures as indicated on the calendar at the kiosk. The Diocese reserves the right to close the property at any time.

Any issues with the process or the property may be directed to info@cragvt.org.
