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 limestone 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 lone 5.14a tops out the sent projects with one 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.

It will help to mitigate fees incurred by CRAG-VT to ensure access and allow the Rock Point Center to continue to offer their unique property to the general public.
*Sign in at the kiosk located at the Diocesan offices parking lot and utilize the marked trail to reach the cliff. Sign out when leaving.
