Description

A small cliff buried deep in the Nepaug State Forest that is home to a dozen or so routes mostly in the 5.10+-5.11+ range. Though the climbs aren't the tallest, most are on vertical faces and have fairly decent movement. You should def give em a rip :)

There were no obvious signs of climbing here prior to 2020, but being CT and all, I'm sure someone has something to say about it. If you Know of any ascents prior to 2020 feel free to share!

Getting There

From the large mtn bike/river access parking area/pull off; take the Satan's Kingdom Road (gravel road/trail) north for about a half a mile to a yellow logging gate. Turn left (west) and walk around the gate, you are now on the Tipping Rock Loop Trail with blue/yellow blazes. Take this trail for a little over a half a mile. The cliff is a couple hundred feet north of the trail before the campsite.
