Description

  There is still a lot of room for development at case mountain; however, many of the good boulders are a little obscure and require some bush wacking. There is a large 12 foot tall boulder about mid way on the red trail that has many of the better routes as of yet. About 800 feet north of the yellow-red trail hidden within forest there is another rocky area that has several establish boulder problems and a few more that are still in the works.
   "Gollum's Playground" is an area with many potential routes of varying grades.  Several easy and hard ones.  It is comprised of a large vertical wall broken into 3 segments, and 90 deg to it is a long fully featured overhanging wall.  There are also a couple other rock outcroppings nearby that are good warm-ups. This area can be developed to have multitudes of routes and may be one of the largest bouldering spots in Case.

Getting There

Case Mountain is a large forest and is very popular with mountain biking.  As such, the best spots to park and hike in depend on the area you are looking to climb.  There are a couple parking lots around the park including Line St, Case Ponds Lot, Spring St., and Birch Mtn MTB Parking area (along the road there).  Also there are some neighborhoods where you can park along the street and walk on a narrow section of town-owned property that juts between private property to get to the park such as on Dennison Ridge Rd and Rock Ridge Rd.  For these it's best to check out Manchester's GIS information to ensure you walk on public grounds.
