Climbing Near Fairfield, Connecticut

Located in one of Faifields many OPEN SPACE parks off of mountain laurel rd. This is strickly a bouldering area. It has a lot of tree cover so it takes a while to dry out after the rain. It's never crowded, in fact I don't think I've ever seen anyone there before... From I-95: Get off the Black Rock tpk. exit (rt. 58) Take Black rock turnpike North through the business district and take a left on to Sam mortar rd. *At the first stop sign continue straight on to brookside rd.At the next stop sign take a right on to Mountain Laurel rd. Drive slowly through the neighborhood due to a lot of families with young kids. About a half mile on the left is the entrance to the park and a large dark wooded sign. Take the first path on the right. The path will go up hill with random steps put in by the town. The path will curve to the left and a drop off on the right. Start looking for a path that will take you down to the base on your right. From the Merrit PKWY: Get off exit 44 (rt. 58) Take Rt. 58 (black rock turnpike) south to Sam Motar rd. (approx. the second stop light) Take a right on Sam Motar rd. Continue to follow the directions from here.** If you have any other questions or need a quick tour drop me a line.

Properly named...this section of Mountain Laurel Has three main routes so far, one of which I still haven't named. Go left down a small hill and around the corner to the right from Center Stage.

Like the rest of Mountain Laurel it is under heavy tree cover and needs time after a rain to dry out. If you're facing the rock it is to the right of Center Stage.
