Access Issue: Parking and Dogs Details

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.

Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures for access issues: please review cragvt.org Details

Description

An easy traversing pitch that goes from the top of pitch one of Work Shoes into the middle of the third pitch of Radical Sabbatical. Leave the Anchors atop p1 of WS and head hard right clipping the descent anchor of WS. Trend up and right past two more bolts till you see the first and second bolt on P3 of RS. Leaders choice here, but the recommended way is to clip the second on RS and not the first (and closer) bolt. Much better rope angle this way. Then take the bolts on RS to the top of the pitch. From here continue up RS to the right, or 3rd class down left to the anchors of WS.

Heads up: This might feel "runnout" for some people. That being said, the leader and follower should be adequately protected as long as the leader clips the bolts before doing the slippery moves, and the follower cleans AFTER doing the slippery moves.
