Details
While open to the public, the Connecticut College Arboretum has specific rules regarding the use of its natural land. These guidelines include...
- NO jogging, organized sports, biking, camping, hunting, creating fires or driving vehicles within the Arboretum, as these activities are damaging to the ecology of the landscape.
- Jogging is permitted ONLY on the designated jogging trails between Rt. 32 and the Thames River or the paved roads on campus. Please limit jogging to the areas marked on the Arboretum Jogging Trails.
- Dogs must be leashed at all times. Owners are responsible for removal and disposal of their dogs’ wastes. Bags are provided at the entrance to the Native Plant Collection on Williams Street.
- Don't disturb or remove plant labels, they are used to educate the public and are essential for tracking specific trees throughout their lives.
- Don't remove plant material without permission from the Arboretum office.
- Alcoholic beverages may not be brought into the Arboretum.
In addition to these rules, BOLTING or DEVELOPING the climbing areas any further without express permission from the college is STRICTLY PROHIBITED!

Description
This route starts by climbing up a tree as if you were squirrel in search of a nut, hence the name "Nut Grabber". Once you are far enough up the tree, you can step onto the ledge and continue a relatively simple climb. At the very top, there is an overhang that is the second most difficult part besides squirreling up the tree. It requires you to lean back pretty far in order to pull yourself up.
The first time Nut Grabber was climbed was by Rocky Joe in January 2021. Rocky Joe free-soloed this route with no ropes. It is fair to say that Rocky Joe successfully grabbed the nut!
