Climbing Near Orono, Maine

The weather obviously varies by day and season as this is the entire area around Bangor. Very cold in the winter, very humid and hot in the summer. Spring and Fall are usually good times to do all outdoor activities. Architecture in this area, for the most part is pretty boring and lacking creativity, also it's mostly pretty short, (i.e. no skyscrapers.) You can access most of this buildering area from I-95. Around the exit 189. (Anything in the Old Town area is going to be further North.)

Not secluded, but less likely to be spotted than most areas in Bangor due to the smaller amound of people. Weather is the same as the Bangor area. Take exit 193, or exit 197.

Yes, there is building climbing at U of Maine.  It is all illegal.The original AREA was submitted more that 10 years ago In 2010. Several routes were contributed in 2014.  Since that time Mountainproject has decided that it really should not condone and support climbing on buildings and places where it is strictly prohibited.That being said, I recently contacted the original contributor of most all of the routes (it is not clear why the contributor of the AREA did not post routes, or maybe they were deleted) who is now a climber in Colorado. With his permission I have deleted the routes he submitted, as well as one recent submission.R. Hall, MtnPrjct Admin. Maine Deleted
