Description

Will be a sweet sport climbing crag…someday. 60' barely overhanging granite. May have some ice flows in the cold months too.
Only one top rope route has been attempted here. Room for around 5 to 7 lines.

Getting There

From the Wetmore Pond lot, take the west trail to Hogsback (white blazes). When it crosses a small stream (0.5 miles) turn left onto the multi-use trail (the railroad grade). Hike the old railroad past Wetmore Pond for ¾ of a mile. Turn right just before the bridge and head up a hill. Ride the ridge for a few hundred feet before dipping downhill, crossing a small creek, and climbing another ridge. Summit the ridge and head down a gully, turning right at the base. Do not cross the swamp, stay right and follow it until you see the beginnings of a rock outcrop on your left. The Swamp Wall is Just around the corner.
