Strip 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 Upper Strip Boulder, Coffin Boulder (aka "Belly Button") and Cat Pine Boulder all about 0.1 mile away. The Ridge Trail also starts within a tenth of a mile. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 10 routes spread across the V1-2 to V6 range. The Waldo's is a V3, and Hamstring Heroes is the hardest at V6. The area is best suited to climbers who enjoy bouldering on a small scale, with several problems close together. 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, with September still near 70°F. Winters are cold, with January highs around 30°F. For more time on foot, the Stonewood Trail is about half a mile away. Paddlers can reach Chandler Brook, roughly 6 miles off, or the Royal River Water Trail, about 9 miles away.
