Great Ledge is a bouldering area in Connecticut, about 1.4 miles from Boston. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Main Face and Bald Rock Basin each about 0.1 mile away. The area is best known for its bouldering, with three routes listed: Left Arete (V2-3), Low Traverse (V6) and Overhung face (V7). The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury run from highs around 69°F in May to about 74°F in September, with July the warmest at about 82°F. Pillars Trail and Bruzelius Trail are both within half a mile for a walk after climbing. The Norwalk River, about 3 miles away, offers canoeing, and Slugs & Crickets Block, roughly 5 miles off, has more climbing.
