Description [Suggest Change]

Even more popular than the cliffs, and perhaps even more popular than the ice, are the Smuggler's Notch boulders. Some featured in the now out of print New England Bouldering guidebook, here's a taste of what Smuggs has to offer pebble wrestlers.

If the gate is closed how is the walk in? Manageable? May 8, 2018

@mathewWallace The walk in isn't bad. Maybe 20-30 minutes depending on the boulder you're looking to climb. Park on the Jefferson (north) side for sure. May 8, 2018
