MORE INFO >>> The climbing is on private land the landowner (not the local climbers) is requesting that climbers do not publish information on the routes at Farley Ledge. The Western Mass Climbers Coalition folks are trying to help assure that the landowner's wishes are respected, and users are requested NOT to post route information on Mountain Project. Since Farley is all on private land, the owners have the ability to take access away at any time if they feel that overcrowding is happening. And they are sensitive to this overcrowding and watching it. In order to protect the access that we do have at Farley, we are taking down route information should be taken down in order to respect the landowner's wishes. The WMCC is working on a longer-term solution for the area, and will make information more readily available so that folks understand the issues and don't feel that access is being restricted simply to keep the area sacred to the locals.

Description 

This is a moderate trad area with quality rock which is ~90 feet in height.

The ground here is not dusty like amphitheater. There are good climbs from 5.6 to 5.10 This area sees less traffic than the main amphitheater and suits groups fairly well.

Getting There 

From the Amphitheater, walk up and right (take the lower of the 2 trails). Continue around following the cliff. Note that there is also an access trail that goes down to the main trail.
