Titanic Boulder

Titanic Boulder is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, just across the state line from East Thompson, Connecticut, which sits about 1.8 miles away. It is a compact crag with a cluster of boulders close to the Wallum Lake Area and Coffee House Rocks climbing areas, both about 0.1 mile off. The Titan route, the hardest at V7, gives the place its name. The climbing here is all bouldering, with seven routes on the boulder. The grades run from V1-2 to V7, with the median at V4. Among them are Nosepass at V1-2, The Titanic at V7, and Tipping Point and The Perfect Storm at V5 and V6. Trevor Mungeam and John Wilbur have names on the first ascents. For timing, summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from the nearby Buffumville Lake weather station show July highs around 82°F with lows near 60°F, while September cools to highs in the mid-70s. Within a mile are the Wallum Lake Area, Coffee House Rocks and the Southern New England Trunkline Trail. West Thompson Lake Campground, about 7.7 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
