Titanic Area

Titanic Area is a bouldering area in Maryland, sitting right next to the town of Rocks. It's a cluster of boulders rather than a single route, and it works well as a short visit for climbers who want to pick out a few problems on the spot. The area holds five boulder problems, all graded on the V scale from V2 to V7, with the hardest being Titanic (also known as Belly of the Beast) at V7. Other named routes include Digits at V2, Iceberg at V2-3, Slabdance at V4 and Carpathia at V5. That gives climbers a range of options from straightforward to challenging. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 67°F. July is the warmest month, with highs near 88°F. Several other climbing areas sit within a short distance. Purple Trail Boulders, Biceps Wall and Moby Dick and Trailer Boulders are all about 0.1 mile away. For a walk, the White Trail is about 0.6 mile off.
