Cat Pine Boulder is a bouldering area in Maine, set within the Highview land unit, which is managed by a non-governmental organization. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Coffin Boulder (aka "Belly Button") and Strip Boulder both about 0.1 mile away, and the Ridge Trail also within a tenth of a mile. The area offers five bouldering routes, all rated from V0 to V4 on the V scale. Cat Pine Crack is the easiest at V0, and Cat Pine Dyno is the hardest at V4. The routes are all bouldering, so there is no climbing on rope. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Brunswick run to highs around 79°F in July and 70°F in September, with lows near 50°F. Winters are cold, with January highs around 30°F. The Stonewood Trail is about half a mile away, and the Power Line Trail is roughly 1.3 miles off. For paddling, Chandler Brook is about 6.3 miles away and the Royal River Water Trail is about 9.1 miles away.
