Access Issue: Endangered Species Details

Please stay on the trails and stay out of closed areas on the ground and on the cliff

Most of the 14-acre property at Hanging Mountain has been designated as Priority Habitat by MassWildlife’s Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP). As a result, Hanging Mountain and any work performed there is heavily regulated to ensure that the WMCC is in compliance with the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act and Wetlands Protection Act.

Description

Space Invaders is a compact little crag with some fun and surprisingly long moderate routes. Grades range from 5.9 to 5.11 on featured rock that is mostly solid despite some of it appearing otherwise (which is no doubt the result of careful and thorough cleaning by the FA crew).

Wear a helmet regardless, and do not climb past the anchors on this wall.

Getting There

Follow the main trail to the Cloud Buttress, then follow the cliff to the left to then next area over.
