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 alternate 2nd pitch, at an easier grade, to the original second pitch of Mount Crushmore. From atop P1 break left. Punch up on good feet and gain a sidepull-crimp to clip the first glue-in bolt. Continue to trend just left to reach the second and then start heading up following the line of bolts. About half way up gain a good jug and pull up and lean in to gain a good stance and rest before sorting the moves out at the top. Ends at a glue-in mussy hook/lower-off anchor on a small ledge.

*Originally lead with only 6 bolts, I went back and added a 7th to keep the spice factor down, above the original 2nd bolt, the following morning.

Location

In the Pirate's Cove zone, climb the 5.8 pitch (P1) of Mount Crushmore to the ledge. Then choose the bolt-line on the left at that ledge to climb Crushdependence.
