Bird ban (04-01 to 08-01)
Whitehorse Ledge has historically seen occasional peregrine falcon closures that vary year to year (NH Fish & Game manages the White Mountains raptor closure list, coordinated with NH Audubon). Cathedral Ledge next door is regularly closed on the Upper Left / North End; Whitehorse's closure status is inconsistent. Verify current-year specifics at nhaudubon.org before travelling.

About Whitehorse Ledge

Whitehorse Ledge is Cathedral Ledge's slab-climbing counterpart — an 800-foot Conway Granite dome half a mile south of Cathedral across Echo Lake State Park in North Conway. The Slabs sit on the north end of the cliff and get morning sun; the South Buttress faces south. Standard Route (5.5), Sliding Board (5.7), Inferno (5.8), Hotter than Hell (5.9), and Children's Crusade (5.11a) are Mountain Project's top-ranked classics — note Children's Crusade is 5.11a on MP, not 5.10c as sometimes cited. Slabs are unforgiving of dampness — wait for the wall to be genuinely dry. Park at the White Mountain Hotel & Resort's maintenance-shed lot (not the hotel guest lot); Echo Lake State Park day-use fee applies at the main entrance. Shares a weather anchor with Cathedral (same Conway Granite pluton less than a kilometre apart, same aspect). No active peregrine ban at Whitehorse in NH F&G's 2026 list (Cathedral has one; Whitehorse historically has occasional closures). Spring drying is slow; June through October is the reliable window.
