Rock Climbing

Experienced rock climbers are challenged by the 1000' vertical cliffs on Cannon Mt and lesser outcroppings in Franconia Notch such as Artist's Bluff, Eagle Cliff and Indian Head. No one should attempt any technical climbing unless under the instruction of a climbing school or with an experienced guide. Climbers must register before and after their climbs at the trailhead parking lot by the south end of Profile Lake. There is an excellent guidebook for mountaineers by Ed Webster called "Rock Climbs in the White Mtns".
