Description 

Climbers with fingers of steel and precise footwork will be attracted to Clifton. Clifton is nestled in the rolling hills just east of Bangor, Maine, and is home to some of the finest crags in the state. Those who enjoy climbing on balancy holds and tweaky, tip numbing edges will find plenty to do as Clifton is the home to nearly a dozen crags.


Getting There 

The Clifton crags are located about 20 minutes east of Bangor. All the crags (except for eagle bluff) are located off of rt. 9. Eagle bluff is off of 180

Anyone know anything about the cliff over by fletchers? Its a mile or so before fletchers off one of the side logging roads. It looks very vertical, and may have potential for some nice lines.
