Haven't climbed there yet and not sure what the snowfall looks like (hopefully it's better than the Catskills where I'm at) but would like to get out and explore if anyone is interested.

I’ll be at west rock, quarry walls on Saturday. You’re welcome to join. It gets good sun so should be dry

YES Some Where In CT,

 The crack  ,  .  .  .  .  .     V V V V   ,   .   .   . STILL WAITS/NEEDS A FOR REAL: FROM SITTING, SEND !(as well as most of the other problems, 'n the blunt ends)

 I have only Top 'D'oped  these.

They are all very short, lead-able, with skills or gear in place(Boltys??)

These could all be "High Balls" Very good holds all the way to the top

The lean of this thing is mean,
, in all directions
The leaning column, is only one of the many fun things at this secret spot
is this horizontal one of the best cracks in Ct ? (click on the pix)

 You will want to test yer mustard here, A stiff 5min approach (or longer easy trail,optional)A great place for 1st gear leads

 & the best (hard'r) face to crack thru overhangs at least 4 variations,& (obscured .12b lower face waiting for bolting) climbz with 2known ascents

Top ropein', The 'Flying Butress', (The whole  right side, a project. . . .)

Christopher? It will be dry again . . .Some day. 

& Tooth Radish. . . have I got that twisted? 

I have 'climbed' at a Quarry in Marlboro, NY!, 

 just once, thnk-less, dangerous work, tons of rubble, got,'almost arrested', a hassle!,                                                                                                                                                                     and was only lucky to be with a local High School ball player, a Pitcher ( RJ,) who had held the school strike-out record, until it was broken by the son of the security guy,                                                    he had a sidearm. . . still the place was dangerous fun. . .  sorry to have misssed that email last Thursday. .

Saturday?  To much snow, & more all month; Meh!

^^ pretty curious. Been trying to hit a lot of good gear lines before I graduate this May. What kind of scale are we talking for this?

There is a solid days worth of climbing, at either zone. but with all the snow, the shorter steeper, harder stuff will be damp, seepage will be an issue

All short -  the approach, the access to the top and the climbs. - the tallest only around 60-80 feet high - Ravens Crest has the better of protect-able climbs,

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
