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

Located on top of the Rail Yard wall.

Getting There

OK so I definitely sandbagged a few people on the previous description so here is the skinny:

UPDATE: The best way to reach the ledge is now to climb either the first pitch of Work Shoes or Radical Sabbatical.

Alternatively...

Hike up the gully west of the Railyard to a short and perpetually wet handline. From the top of the handline you can either carefully traverse low and bushwack through the trees or you can continue up to a tree with a two-bolt anchor just above it. From the anchor, you can rappel skiers left to reach the ledge.
