Westmoreland Sanctuary is a climbing area in New York, about 1.2 miles from Bedford Four Corners. It is a bouldering destination, with two routes listed among its climbing options. The closest trails sit right beside it, including the Wood Thrush Trail at about 0.1 mile and the Sentry Ridge Trail and Fox Run Trail at about 0.2 mile. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the grades run from V0-1 to V2. The two named routes are "From Where I Am," a V0-1 boulder, and "You Come Here Often?," a V2 boulder with a first ascent on April 10, 2020. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F, with July peaking near 83°F and winter lows in the teens. Armonk Cliffs is another climbing area about 2.9 miles away, and the Trudeau Boulders and Southern Loop are both within about 4 miles.
