Moore's Bridge
| Description | ***This area is a work in progress - please contribute by adding routes & photos if you have them*** Moore's Bridge is easily visible from Rt. 23A and has a small number of decent lines. Fortunately, it's easy to see from the road whether this area crowded. It's very difficult to walk to the top of the cliff, so expect to lead. |
|---|---|
| Directions | From Palenville: Drive 1.9 miles east on Route 23A until you cross a bridge and see the cliff on the left (south) side of the road. Parking is tricky - be careful to obey parking signs. Park alongside the road either East or West of the falls. |
| Approach | Hop the guardrail and put on your crampons! |

Routes at Moore's Bridge
| Moore's Right, WI4/M? Moore's right is the main wall easily visible from the road as you drive over the bridge. This wall has a number of ice routes and a few mixed lines. Be very careful when top-roping because a 60m rope may not reach the ground. Expect to be honked at, etc. by passersby when climbing here. | |
| Palenville Corner, WI4+ | |
| Catskill Ice Hose, WI4, mixed A short sweet route at the top of the steep dirt slope above the guard rail. Anchor bolts (strange and unnecessary) at the base of the route are a good sign that you're in the right place. Climb the left facing corner and exit left onto the face. Crank through a small hang at the top. Bolted the whole way but frequently the upper bolts are covered in ice. An outstanding and classic line. | |
| Moore's Bridge Gulley, WI3 Climb the long gulley in one or two pitches. |
