Mormon Hollow
|
Hello, |
|
Besides the routes listed here I don't know of any other info on the routes there. Some routes are bolted and most have anchors to top rope from what I remember. Of course there is some good trad routes as well. Great rock and some fun climbs, I love and miss climbing there. |

Sport wise, there is not too much. Realistically I would only go there to climb priapism. If you climb 12's it is fun other than that I wouldn't spend too much time. There are a couple of hard roof problems that have bolts they are hard 12 maybe 13. If you want sport climbing in that area go to Farley. |

Mormon is worth visiting if your not grade chasing and just want a great day of climbing in a nice area. And I believe there was quite a few more bolted routes there before they were chopped not sure how many have been replaced if any at all. |

I'm sure that Ward Smith and western Ma climbers assc can fill you in |
|
it's definitely a sweet place to climb for a day. I was just saying sport wise I felt there were not very many routes other than hard 12's. pretty much all is top rope accessible |

Thanks for the responses. I go to Farley often, but figured i would ask about mormon hollow to change things up. I'll certainly go if not just to see the area. |

Hey Eric--I climb at Mormon Hollow pretty regularly--it is a nice change from Farley, particularly on weekends when Farley is mobbed. I think there are four sport limes--5.7, 5.8 and a couple of .12's. Oh, and I guess the short 5.11 on the upper wall that I've never been to. Several good mixed and trad routes, and everything is easily top roped. |
