Access Issue: Land Trust property Details

Redding Land Trust owns Great Ledge has a parking lot and trail to the Ledge located on Dayton Rd. Please do not park and bushwack from Newtown Turnpike (Rt. 53) as there is no established trail to this cliff and traveling on Centennial Watershed State Forest property requires you to stay on established trails and carry the following permit: ct.gov/dep/lib/dep/statepar…. RLT does not specifically have a policy on rock climbing at the ledge but should any issues arise they might very well close the property to climbing. If you intend on climbing at Great Ledge please consider a paying the $10 membership fee which can also be considered a tax donation.

Description

This route starts on the mossy slab on the left side of the main cliff. Climb up the mossy slab with big first couple moves. Top out the slab and climb the left side of the bulge on the next face, then up the main face, left of the topmost arete. Easy to TR with trees at the top, but would need a bolt on the mossy slab to be safer.
Crux is the beginning few moves, a crash pad would be good but I don't have one.

Location

Start on the mossy slab on the left side of the cliff, left of the 5.6's with a small overhang. The moss looks hard to hold, but the topside of all the holds is clean from rainfall.
