Cathole Mtn is a small crag that packs in several good moderate to expert routes on central Connecticut's signature traprock. The very short approach adds to the crag's popularity, but the traffic noise from the nearby road can hinder communication. Cathole is also known for somewhat loose rock, as the talus pile at its base attests to. All of the climbs here can be done trad or on toprope; the trail to the top is around the far right end and is short but steep and loose. Toprope anchors can be made at the top, but the trees are set back a good 20' from the cliff top.
