Pipeline

Connecticut > CT Bouldering > Hurd Park

Description

The best rock at Hurd, the fewest problems, and the most potential. This is a beautifully featured band of Gneiss resembling a large wave.

Please help contribute to the development of this area. Bring a brush and don't be afraid to do a bit of work :).

Getting There

From the Molar Boulder, go back down onto the trail and walk for maybe 5-10 minutes. Pipeline is high up on the hill. This is probably the most difficult area to find, but if you're scrambling around the base of the broken cliffs, you'll find it! The "best guess" for this spot on the map, is quite wrong I believe. Molar Rock is a bit farther away from the hillside boulders, and it is actually in an area labeled on most maps as "George Dudley Seymour State Park". I've been walking around the park a good amount, and it is not in the main Hurd Park area.

[Hide Comment] Two choice lines (shown in the old photos, including some beta) could use a clean on rap, but mostly just the top. Slightly highball but decent landing areas. Crack runs 30+ feet horizontally across the face above the overhang, I wonder if you could climb that? Mar 22, 2019
