CRAG-VT CRAG-VT CRAG-VT (Climbing Resource Access Group Vermont) is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to preserving access and conservation of Vermont's rock and ice climbing resources. It is an Access Fund Local Climber Organization (LCO). On September 25, 2018, CRAG-VT signed a purchase agreement for The Bolton Dome. The Bolton Dome was once the area's most popular climbing spot in the 1970s and 1980s, but it was closed in 1993 due to a conflict between the rock climbers and the land owner. CRAG-VT purchased the entire 48-acre parcel in 2018, including the 2-acre house site that was subdivided and sold. A
