Tons of granite boulders and short ridge lines to be discovered. A great place to grab the dog and your shoes and find an adventure.

Much more to come!


Getting There

This place is pure untapped potential. TONS of boulders and cliffs. Some stunning crack lines (up to 40-50 feet) and so much bouldering. Really great rock and its all condensed and accessible by trails. I don't know how this place hasn't gotten more attention...

We were out there today, It's pretty sharp pink granite because of erosion. Tears your fingertips up worse than anything else in CT. Needs a LOT of attention and love to clean and set here. I can see why people could get turned off by this type of rock.

Some people hate it, some are OK with it. It does toughen the hands and would be great training for a trip to Joshua Tree. If only there were more Frankenrocks around...

Yeah I agree it's got tons of rock but its not the nicest to touch. Seems to be earning a lovable reputation with the locals ... It's nice to know when your out there putting up problems that other people actually do the same out there. It gets lonely out there sometimes. There's a couple real nice cracks on my hit list... I better get them done sounds like.
