Description
Sunset Hill is a small but densely packed bouldering area located just above the Lucerne Inn amid a development of log cabins. There are a lot of features here that are not common in other Bangor bouldering areas: cracks, roofs, etc.. What makes Sunset really though is that it has all the best qualities of a good bouldering spot: no approach, easy to navigate, a large concentration of problems, a lot of FA potential, highballs, and a variety of climbing styles. Much of the bouldering is actually done on a small, broken cliff band that ranges in height from 14 to 25 feet. There are some dangerous highballs here. It's worth bringing a lot of crash pads.
Getting There
From Brewer: Take 395 to exit 6A (Rte 1A East). Follow 1A 8.6 miles until you see the Lucerne Inn. Take a left onto Sunset Rd. Stay left at T (Orpine). Stay on Orpine until it intersects an old camp at it's end.
Parking is located at the end of orpine road behind a vacant house. You'll see the boulders and cliff band through the trees.
From Ellsworth: Take Rte 1A West for 12.8 miles (measuring from the intersection of Rte 1A and 179.) At the Lucerne Inn take a right onto Sunset Road. Follow the same directions as above.
