Sharp Bridge Campground is a climbing area in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits within its own land unit, and the East Mill flow trail starts just 0.1 mile away, making it an easy pairing for a day of climbing and walking. The climbing here is trad, with a few mixed routes, and the grade range runs from 5.3 up to 5.10b. Seven routes are listed, including Guides Gift at 5.3 and Gifts of Promiscuity, a mixed route at 5.10b. The Left End, Main Cliff and Right End climbing areas are all within about 1.4 miles. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 80°F with lows near 60°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Cornwall, Vermont. That station sits roughly 650 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at the cliff may run cooler.
