Mt. Tom Bouldering

The true summit of Mt. Tom is north of Rt 165, but this area will describe the climbing south of the road, since it is more concentrated and traditionally know by that name. The new, more scattered areas to the north will be described in their own sections.

Many small ledges and a few boulders abound this area. Good access and a varying degree of difficulties. Bouldering, highball bouldering and top roping. There are plenty of trees at the top of the walls for anchors. Lead climbing is not really practical, with short routes and marginal gear. -Forested, with no crowds and bugs are average for RI in the summer.

The Rock is granite with much of it high quality, with interesting features. Some of it, particularly on the edges of the main wall and at the Fire Wall can be a bit chossy though. Many climbs haven't been done in a long time so some cleaning should be expected. (much is getting recleaned lately) Orange is needed during hunting seasons.

The local website climbri.org has some more information and historical photos. (Please do not post material from there here without permission from Brian)
