Ragged Mountain: Main Cliff

Ragged Mountain: Main Cliff
Southington, CT

Ragged is the tallest and most popular climbing area in Connecticut. The land that the cliff is on is owned by The Ragged Mountain Access Fund, a group comprised primarily of the people who go there often and want to ensure that this great area is kept open for climbers to enjoy.

Some views from the top...

Taking a break at the top and having a snack, the most important part of any hiking / climbing trip ;-)


The approach from the parking lot is approximately 45 minutes from car to cliff top. Along the way, the trail takes you past many minor cliff areas and past interesting formations like Lost Owl Spire, shown above.
