North Mountain Bouldering?

Postby Nette » Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:48 am

I've heard there might be a bouldering area(s) on the north mountain. Does anyone have any info on where it is and what it's like?

hey nette
i kinda remember there being some good boulders down at the old boy scout camp on gasperaux lake. it is quite a trip into with lots of rocks in the road and I havent been in for a few years but might be worth a look. I know you look for a white house with a road leading away from it north. Maybe someone out there can help with dirrections.
I guess if there is no ice to climb you can make do with a rock.

Go South my friend!

The south mountain near Bridgetown has a plethora of big granite boulders. Derek Smith is in the area; working hard to find, clean, and protect these giants.

There are some high ball cracks that would probably be fun to trad climb too.

It's truly a spectacular setting, big boulders strewn through out a big old hardwood forest.
