Live Streaming Area is a bouldering area in Connecticut, about 1.2 miles from the town of Killingworth. It sits among several other climbing spots, including the Blue Trail South (UFO) and the Grey Matter Area, both about 0.1 mile away, and the Chatfield Weather Caves, also about 0.1 mile away. The name of the area is taken from the Live Streaming route, a V3+ boulder problem. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes in total. The grades run from V3 to V4, and the area is best suited to climbers who enjoy bouldering at this level. The routes include Box Cutter (V3), Water Sounds Arete (V3), Live Streaming (V3+), Trench Knife (V3+) and Water's Edge (V4). All were first ascended by Shylo. For a change from the rocks, the Chimney Trail and the Chatfield Alternate Trail are both about half a mile away. Paddlers can reach the Hammonasset River, roughly 2.7 miles off, or the Coginchaug River, about 9 miles away.
