WHAT TO EXPECT

Connecticut’s climbing areas are invariably wooded, wild and uphill. Accessing them will generally require hiking up steep, uneven terrain for 10-30min, though longer approaches are possible. There are no restrooms or other facilities available. We will often be parking on the sides of busy, residential roads before walking to the trailhead. Due to this, we recommend carpooling, if possible, in order to minimize our impact.

RCF will supply all necessary technical climbing equipment including helmets, harnesses, climbing shoes etc. Climbers who wish to bring their own equipment are welcome to do so subject to inspection and approval by the instructor.

Please Note:

If under 18, a parent/guardian must accompany the minor for the day.

Spectators are welcome with advanced notice. All spectators must be at least 8 years old and everyone will be required to wear helmets while at the base of the cliff.
