Access Issue: Parking and Dogs Details

CRAG-VT has secured a parking lot for the Bolton Dome! Currently there is room for 12 cars. Turn onto Champ Ln. and the parking lot is immediately seen on the left. There are signs to show you where to park. From the lot, walk up to the cliff.

IF THE LOT IS FULL: Park on the SOUTH side of the road clear of any mailboxes and with all tires off the paved portion of the road.

Additionally, no dogs are allowed at Bolton Dome after a few incidents involving neighbors.

Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures for access issues: please review cragvt.org Details

Description

The west-facing end of the cliff, shrouded in trees, making it a great destination to get out of the sun and on summer mornings.

Getting There

The initial trail brings you below the Bat Wall. Simply hike up and left of the Bat Wall 50 feet to the West Side. The first line of bolts is The Awesomest and is 10 feet left of the arete of Bat Wall. The signs refer to this area as the "Left End."
