This route is in the vein of adventure climbing the rock is dirty and some people might not think the rock to be to quality but I enjoyed the route. it stars on a long slab to a long 3rd class ledge were we belayed for a small part. you then climb through a chiminey to a corner that leads to a cave the rock here is sketch and is also the crux of the route. try and arange a belay in the cave then exit out onto the face and finish with a 100 foot pitch . walk off along ways either way.

Shares 2 pitches with "Book of Saturdays", but removes the first pitch and the long traverse.    Pitch 1- Starts on a large slab with thin cracks for protection, then traverses over to large grass filled crack.  Pulling grass can reveal the pro.  Large cams or large hexes are a must.  Wild country #6? .  Pitch 2- Belay stance is to the left of the major grassy chimney of the second pitch; Use small nuts to protect belay.  Look for stuck Omega Pacific nut to find out where to set up belay.  Follow the large chimney up to the roof.  Some protection can be found by venturing out onto the slab, but stay mostly to the chimney.  Crux can be found right before the cave area.  Pull a couple of exposed moves, and Metoliuschimney up a large overhanging crack. Traverse into the cave area.  Watch the loose rock, and maintain your footing.  Pitch 3-Belay from the cave area; protecting this can be tricky, but there should be a protectable crack out and around the corner of the cave.  Look for a stuck nut to give you and idea where to place.  Head out the cave and around the arete.  Easy pulls up to the top of the climb.  Top out and enjoy the view! 

Starts on a very distinct cleanish crisp 10' wide 60' long chunk of slab, optional belay over the top.  Continue on more slab into a wedge area where a right facing dihedral starts, belay here.  Climb dihedral for 30 and head up and left on face and ledge to a clump of junipers, belay.

This route assend's the mid crag access rap stations.  Overgrown.  Not far climbers left of .....  slab start.  

Start at the small rock pedestal/platform and climb  up between a tree and a bush, with athe tree on your right.  Angle up and left through a slab section with good feet to a groove and then skirt left around the small roof. You will find a small belay ledge at 45m on climbers left.  A #3 and #4 can be used at the belay. From the belay, go up some slightly vegetated slab to the top passing over a long ledge with some small bushes to sling, 30m. Belay from trees in the woods.

The route accends a long slab starting in a left facing corner for about 30 feet into a leftward horizontal traverse putting you at the base of a 100ft crack system. The crux comes right after the traverse. Well protected and loaded with holds this route has a little of everything!! There is a 4th class pitch if your starting from the bottom to get to the starting ledge. I would recomend rapping in and leading back out to avoid the loose scree at the base of the cliff.

Either rap in from the top of the route which is exactly at the Overlook of the North country Trail or rap from the anchors at the north end of the Crag and walk to the bottom of the climb which is approximately 500 feet  south of the Book of Saturdays buttress.     The first pitch is 50m up slabs and corners to the base of a big block with a short vertical crack/chimney.    Second pitch goes up the crack and left across the brushy ledge finishing up a rotten corner and slab exit to the top.

An adventure route that starts in a crack on a steep slab and then does an airy traverse left to a large ledge with little for pro.  continue past the ledge up to a belay in the shrubs.  from this belay, find your way up to the top on vegetated slabs.

Basically a 5th class gully.  At the pod head left up along a never ending shitty very chossy 4th class ramp/catwalk, solid pro is hard to find.  A direct line out the top of the pod is possible when dry, might redeem the route a bit, maybe?  Climbing above the pod is 

Located on the west (left) side of the cliff band. The route tops out to climber's left of a large juniper bush right at the top of the cliff, where the terrain starts going steadily downward. Starts on a small shelf just left of a tree and ascends through a short sheer slab with shallow vertical grooves, into a crack system 10 feet left of an orange, left-facing dihedral. Crux is just right of a permanently wet spot halfway up. Scramble up vegetated ledges at the top to anchor on a tree. Fun route with good pro. Still some loose rock.

Two anchors to start, higher middle of bald spot .  One ring anchor at the back of the major horizontal break, just after a 12' free air rappel.  One ring anchor when it really starts slabbing off till the next drop onto the final slab.  Watch for poison ivy at the bottom of this whole sector.  Two anchors will be place 2020 to make each station a set.

Norwich Ledge is no doubt the largest cliff in the state.  The wall ranges from 100 to 300 feet tall and is about a half mile wide. The climbing is dirty from lack of use and there are sections of loose rock.  This area could become a developed some day, but for now I would call it adventure climbing.
