This small cliff band prompted the search for additional undeveloped cliffs
in the area after it was found cross country skiing. Numerous cliffs havebeen unearthed in the immediate area and some quality routes have beenestablished in the last few months; Otter Lake Cliffs being one of the main
development locations.
This cliff has seen little traffic, so a larger consensus is needed to make
any of the grades “official”. Please provide any feedback on the climbs if
you happen to make it out there. Thanks in advance!
Routes: 1. “Vertical Limit” – 5.10a: Follow the thin vertical seam to the top of the
cliff. Two bolts with good gear to anchors. ~35’ tall.
2. “Vision Quest” – 5.11d: This climb starts directly below a large crack
system above. A technical boulder problem leads to easier crack climbing
above with great gear. One bolt at the beginning with good gear in theupper crack to anchors. ~40’ tall.
3. “Adrenaline Surge” – 5.10a: Start in the corner system and follow the
good juggy holds until you can access the large jug on the face left of thecorner. From the jug, follow the line of bolts up the face to the top of the
cliff. Three bolts plus gear to anchors. First bolt is 20’ off the ground,
fear not, there are three good gear placements before the first bolt, one isright at the jug on the face.
3a. “Stretch Armstrong” – 5.10b: Start as “Adrenaline Surge”. At the jug
on the face, traverse left to access the upper crack of “Vision Quest”. A
hand-heel match on the jug allows you to slap sidepulls out left to make it

5. “The Incredible Hulk” – 5.12d: The only all sport route on the cliff,and a stout one at that; worthy of a five minute hike any day. Start on the
slab below the overlaps that begin 10’ up. This climbs follows the mostprominent features to the top of the cliff. Basically a 40’ V6 boulderproblem. Five bolts to anchors.
