Description
Halloween, also known as the Grafton Crag, is an old wall that saw development years ago before it was abandoned and overtaken by moss. As the story goes, a local young man and his father spent time developing the wall before he was tragically lost. Since then, a new trail to the wall was made, and the wall has has been brought to life with many new routes. Halloween features over 20 single pitch climbs with a little bit of something for everyone, but is notable for its short approach, unique angled cracks, and density of high quality 5.9 - 5.10 routes.
While at Halloween, please be respectful with noise. This is one of the closest crags to the town of Index, so please don't scream, play loud music, etc. Just be a good sport and if you see someone causing a problem, please ask them respectfully to stop.
Getting There
The approach takes about 15 minutes. The easiest way to get there is to follow the trail shown in the Climbing Map on this page.
Park in town at Doolittle or across the road at Heybrook Ridge and follow the Lookout Point trail to the Midnite boulder. Before passing the Midnite boulder, turn right down the Trilium trail. Continue for a few minutes until you see a small trail heading right down a winding path to the base of the wall. At the time of this writing there's an orange sign that says 'Happy Halloween' on a tree with 3 trunks pointing to the right towards the trail, but it's a little hard to see. Follow this winding trail for a few minutes to meet the base of the wall. As you walk across the trail, you will pass along the top of the Leaky Cauldron. To get to the Leaky Cauldron head right/straight at the junction on the boulders once passing through the stairs. For all other routes, continue left along the wall.
