CRAG-VT has secured a parking lot for the Bolton Dome! Currently there is room for 12 cars. Turn onto Champ Ln. and the parking lot is immediately seen on the left. There are signs to show you where to park. From the lot, walk up to the cliff.
IF THE LOT IS FULL: Park on the SOUTH side of the road clear of any mailboxes and with all tires off the paved portion of the road.
Additionally, no dogs are allowed at Bolton Dome after a few incidents involving neighbors.

Description
The obvious crack climber’s right of narrow gauge that is connected by a horizontal crack before the slab. The original route seems to continue right to pull onto the slab, but I think it’s much better to hand traverse the horizontal (runners) and meet up with narrow gauge at the pod. This makes it more of an alternate start than it’s own route but keeps the grade consistent with old school 9+.
Location
The middle of the railroad yard, climber’s right of narrow gauge and left of work shoes. Directly behind the large maple that splits into two trunks.
Protection
Finger sized, a few runners
