Description Suggest change

The Upper Tier has some nice low angle slabs that are great for beginner climbers. There are also some cracks and slightly steeper sections that can be led or top roped. The rock is good quality and clean.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the Nipmuck trail from the parking on Crane Hill Rd for about 5 minutes. This will lead you to the boulder right at the top of the cliff. Descend to the right (with your back to the trail and parking) to access the base of the cliff.
