Description

This large Boulder field is located atop Beech Mountain. The Area stretches from the obvious large block in the parking lot, to the boulders down the trial to the south for at least a half-mile. This area hosts some of Acadia’s highest quality problems. Two of the most notable problems in this area were put up by local climber Jesse Cameron and are called “Cowboy Junkies” (V9) and “Silence is the Question”(V8). There are also a number very high quality easy and moderate problems in this area, including classics like “Purity” V3, “Innocence Lost” V4 PG-13 and “Hyperbole” V6.

Getting There

Beech Cliff parking lot of Acadia National Park. To get to the Beech Mountain parking area, just south of Somesville, turn west on the well-marked Pretty Marsh Road, then turn left (south) on Beech Hill Road and follow it for roughly four miles until it ends at the fairly large parking area within Acadia National Park. The Beech Mountain parking area has trailheads going in all directions so make sure that you are on the trail you intend to be on!

You'll want to head towards the back of the parking lot, which is the Southeast corner towards the Valley Trail/South Shore Great Pond where you'll stay right where it splits after a half-mile or so.
