Anyone have any beta on this? I am going to be in Ashford CT this weekend visiting with my boyfriends family, and we'd like to do some climbing if we have the chance. TR, sport, or bouldering. I see the beta on Wolf Rock, but anyone have directions on how to get there? What road is it off of? Any help would be great, thanks!!!

I realize this comes far to late for you, but here's the info for anyone who might be looking.
Wolf rock is nice, and probably the only spot for trad in the area. The lower section is 5.7+, upper basicly everything below a 5.7.
Check out Pothole on the bottom of raggeds wolf rock page. It's a decent spot to top rope, with climbs between 5.5 and 5.11.
There is another spot between pothole and wolf rock called 50 Footer. You'll see a sign if you drive north on 195 toward UConn. If you park in back of the historical society you'll see the entrance to the trails. You'll have a good hike into the cliff, and probably have to wander around trails for a bit, but if you're looking for 5.9 and above this is the spot.
There is a local book, but I'm not sure of its availability. I got mine from the local EMS in manchester. You might be able to find a copy at the UConn bookstore as well.
