Description Suggest change

McClellan Park is an amazing place to visit whether you're climbing or not. It has a long, rocky shore line with plenty of places to climb or simply explore. In the summer it is usually cooler than more inland areas by a few degrees, something helped by the ocean breeze. If you're in Millbridge or close by it is a must visit.

All climbs here are going to be Boulder climbs as there are no rock faces near by that are tall enough for trad to my knowledge.

There are 2 main boulders: Shoreline Boulder and Lava Rock Boulder. The former is probably the better of the two if you're looking for crimpier, more intense climbs. Lava Rock serves better as a good warmup.

Both rocks are relatively short at certain points so they require low, cramped, or awkward starts to set anything over V2. Both also have very solid, comfortable topouts on all sides. 

The climbing is fun, but definitely not world class. Visit here if you're planning on doing more than climbing. 

Getting There Suggest change

[ The park is about 20 mi. NE ( as the seagull flys) of Bar Harbor. ] 

The entrance to the park is on Wyman Road. Once you turn into the park continue straight til there is a fork in the road. Go right, there should be signs there pointing you towards the parking area. There should be a house to your right when you're facing the shore once you're parked. There is then a trail heading towards the shore with a sign in the middle. Head through the woods on the trail for about a minute and you'll be there.

Another potential route, harder version of "The Seaside Press" (The Seaside Press Deluxe, perhaps?). Same start as The Seaside Press except it doesn't traverse as far onto the ledge. Instead you use crimp side pulls (red), v5-v7.

Potential route, needs someone more bold or with more protection than me to climb. <br> <br> Will probably be a harder route (v6-v8) <br> <br> Cyan circle is start hold, red circle is a really nice side pull.
