very time that climbers access Lone Rock Point, they must sign in at the kiosk located at the Diocesan offices parking lot and utilize the marked trail to reach the cliff. Please sign out when leaving.
Climbers must abide by closures as indicated on the calendar at the kiosk. CRAG-VT will try to keep you updated via our website, however the Diocese reserves the right to close the property at any time.
The number of climbers is limited to 8 at any given time. Please check in with the register at the kiosk to ensure that there is adequate capacity.
Lone Rock Point is open during daylight hours for climbing.
Description
A fantastic route with awesome position on a huge overhanging white, black, and orange streaked prow. Some have called it the Predator of VT, except that its way more bouldery, on limestone, and overhanging a lake. So, basically not Predator. But it does have a sit rest before the business, so it does have that going for it.
Start on Destiny and at the 5th bolt traverse left to the base of the arete to start the harder climbing. Pounce on the Terror Bird crux dyno, which for just one move is perplexingly difficult and even more mystifying to grade. Rather than exiting early in the dihedral, continue out the steep arete. Catch a quick chalk then attack the final compression boulder crux with authority. Look like a hero and update your Insta on the final jug shake before a few more long, powerful lock offs up the final headwall leads you to top out the cliff like Alex Honnold at the tourist lookout. Stop dry heaving and try to high five a few admirers before making awkward conversation about the difference between free climbing and free soloing. Emphasize this difference by taking the Red River Gorge whip from the summit.
Long alpine draws on the 5th and 7th bolts and skipping the 6th helps the rope run smoothly.
Location
Shares the start of Destiny, then follows the right-side arete of the big overhanging prow.
