Description

One of the largest formations at Stonehill with three established two pitch routes around 180' long. West facing and gets sun all afternoon but the routes are shaded by trees up to the first anchors.

Getting There

Park in front of "Pheonix/Bailey" at the Hold Up Bluffs and take the trail to the upper tier. Take a right at the grassy old road bed. You will pass a marshy area and walk by Big Buttress before turning left at a large stick in the road/trail. This will take you onto the new trail the climbers coalition built in 2020. Take a right at the fork in the trail and follow it all the way to Bertha Buttress.
