Description

Secluded area with a moderate 1 mile hike in. Dorsons Rock is a newly routed area so expect holds to be sharp and undertrafficed. At the over look on top of Dorsons Rock, keep traveling along the cliffs edge until noticing a smaller cliff with gradual features. Walk along the base of this 10'-15' high cliff until you approach the identified boulder problems. The sandstone rock formation has not been specifically identified yet, so as far as rock type goes it remains unknown. Lichen and moss strongly live amongst certain areas of the rock.

Getting There

Located off County Route 13, one mile southwest of the intersection of CR 13 and the Old Albany Turnpike (Old Chatham Village Square), take Pitt Hall Road, then a left on Hunt Club Road, Sanctuary entrance on right.
