Essential crag checks

Access, closures, permits & safety

Access

Interstate 87 approaches from the south; Route 73 is a main corridor for Keene and Cascade-area climbing. Western approaches use Routes 3, 28 or 8 according to the destination. Consult the individual crag approach rather than navigating only to this regional pin.

Parking

Parking capacity, fees and road access can change. Confirm current conditions before departure.

Closures

DEC’s notice dated August 1, 2026 lists its monitored climbing routes as open. This is a dated peregrine-nesting update, not a guarantee for every cliff: check the latest DEC notices and local signs before each trip.
