Main Wall Linkups is a sport climbing area in Maine's Little Concord Pond State Park, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among several other climbing spots on the same stretch of park land, and the nearby Left End, Shagg Crag and Right End climbing areas all lie within about a tenth of a mile. The routes here are all sport climbs, with grades ranging from 5.9+ to 5.14A. The median grade is 5.12D. Among the named routes are Short Shagg at 5.9+, Lady Ginseng at 5.12C, and the harder Ubershagg at 5.14A. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb. A nearby weather station in Rumford typically averages highs around 79°F in July, with lows near 58°F. That station sits well below the park, so temperatures up high run cooler. For time off the rock, the Androscoggin River Trail offers paddling about 2 miles away. The J-n-J Backcountry Trail, Buck's Ledge Trail and Lapham Ledge Trail are all hikes within about 7 miles.
