Frankenstein Cliffs are a common Ice Climbing location in the winter. As far as hiking, it can be treacherous, since it is quite steep and the footing is on leaf-covered scree.

Frankenstein Cliff is not named after who you might think.

The cliff itself was named after a German immigrant landscape painter named Godfrey Frankenstein who, in the mid-1800s became enamored enough with the White Mountains to treat them as subjects for his art.
