Protect Upper West!

CRAG-VT has recently received approval from landowners and the Bolton Select Board to subdivide and purchase one of Vermont’s most popular and historic climbing areas – Upper West Bolton Cliff!

For decades Upper West has been one of the most highly valued climbing areas in Vermont. With exceptional views and a quiet, wild setting featuring sport climbs, traditional climbs, ice climbs, and an exceptional boulder field, it is one of our most important climbing areas. READ MORE >
