Access Issue: There are current conversations with the land owners- this area is closed to climbing at this time. October 2017 Details

Most of the "Bradbury" boulders are actually in the "Elmwood Boulders Easement" property, which is currently private with bouldering not allowed. See "Bradbury Mountain Boulders" page for the rocks that are in the publicly accessible parcel.

Description

Quaint boulders nestled among forests and furry woodland creatures.

Heinously sharp, large grain granite boulders- crystals are the dominant feature, also look for sloping aretes, crimps, and the occasional generation hold. Some highballs, lots of potential for new routes. really fun.

Shady and sunny, depends on aspect, etc.

Getting There

Exit 22 on I-295 in Maine. If coming from the North, take a left at the end of the ramp and follow obvious signs.

Once at Bradbury Mountain St. Park, take an immediate left after the gate to the lower parking lot. Head up trail at end of parking lot "Summit .6 miles".

Head up trail for a quarter mile-ish, past a few wooden staircases. At Y jxn with small map, head left to overlook. See large signs that state end of Bradbury Mountain State Park, and walk right past them. Head directly down hill.

You should run directly into Southern Boulder Patch (Bradbury Mountain State Park) or slightly to skier's right of it. The Elmwood problems are a hundred yards further in.
