Trail map to Owl cliff. Ride bikes on the logging roads to the clearing, leave bikes here and take overgrowing skidder trail right of good road until you gain the good road again. Follow this right a short distance, you will come to a very small stream. Bushwack left here to a skidder/game trail follow this to the oracle boulder. Go right here to get to the right cliff and left to the main wall. With a bike and not getting lost the approach will take about 90/120 minutes. Good luck and have fun!
One of the nice boulders out at Owl's Cliff. This one is found by taking a spur off to the left a few hundred feet, a few hundred yards before you get to the Oracle boulders. It has good climbing almost all the way around it, and a nice flat landing. Dave Quinn developed most of the routes here. I'm not sure if he ever gave it a name.
My FA of Egg Cracker, a fun 5.10 on the Laughing Owl buttress. I climbed the moderate corner then underclinged a roof right to gain a finger crack, which took me up to the final roof, split by a wide crack. The Laughing Owl area has some of the more moderate routes of Owl's Cliff
Owl's from the Kanc
A blurry long range overview from the Kancamagus Highway of the two main cliffs of Owl's. The left cliff can be seen well, but the right one is facing off to the right, especially the impresssive and badly sandbag named "5.10 Wall", seen on edge.
Black bear and cub seen at Owl's. Note the helmet of the climber they devoured.
Showing the steepness of the second pitch of the trad route, Lady of the Lake 5.10+. The nose is the top of Butolicious, a 12a/b sport route that follows a 30m arete system mostly hidden below. The rope is hanging down from the top of the 3rd pitch of Sporty Owl, a mixed 11c that starts with an offwidth to hand crack, then an overhanging stem corner, a little slab, and finishes up bolted overhanging face - Sporty Area, Left Cliff of Owl's
