Description

Rock climbing on the Hunter and Dog feature. The hunter and his dog are a longtime tourist attraction that can be viewed in profile from the first parking area on the right on the Stowe side.

A short approach (2-3 mins) leads to a few high quality rock climbs on a ~20 degree overhanging face. Only sunny for a few hours in the late afternoon.

Getting There

At the summit turn, locate a steep, rocky slide on the northwest side of the notch. The slide is just slightly downhill on the Jeffersonville side and is most easily located about 30ft north of the Workout Wall Boulder. Scramble up the rocky slide for 1-2 mins. As you near the first cliff on your left, find the easiest path across the vegetated slope to the base of the cliff. There is a comfortable hangout at the base of the cliff.
