Description

A small, remote cliff with a couple routes, one of which is exceptional. The cliff is [just] on state land in the vicinity of Broughton Ledge. It's a bit remote, but yet only takes 10-15 min to hike there.

Getting There

Park in the pullout on the north side of Ensign Pond Road, 7 miles east of Caza Turn Road.

From the parking walk west into the woods, then north into a narrow valley with an old logging road. Follow the logging road about 10 min to a cairn on the right. Follow the path to a Y, and take the left fork which meanders over to the cliff. The cairn and "path" are difficult to see and follow, so it helps to have a GPS. You're looking for the cliff at 44.040083745194806,-73.61373603343965.
