Armonk Cliffs is a climbing area in New York, about a mile from the town of North Castle. It is a small crag with a single sport route, MoJo Risin', which is graded 5.12- and was first climbed by Morgan Patterson. The route is the only one listed for the area, and it is the only sport route in the crag's repertoire. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. The Blue Trail (cliff trail) is half a mile away, and the Bluebird Trail and Green Trail are both within about 2 miles. Westmoreland Sanctuary, another climbing area, is roughly 3 miles off.
