About Shorncliff (OS):

A natural limestone cliff about 100 feet high. About 200 routes with at least half in the VS-HVS grades. The rock and pro are good, but bring two ropes for the rappell descents. Faces west and is great when the weather is chilly. Best in the spring when there are no leaves on the trees.
