Crash Site is a bouldering area in Vermont's Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, within the Manchester Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the site sits among several other climbing areas, including Area 51 and Debris Field Right, both about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 17 routes spread across the V0 to V10 range. The easiest is Fin-a-ling at V0, and the hardest is Lightspeed at V10. Samuel Hayden is listed as the first ascender on several of the routes, including Super Sonic and Asteroid Belt. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Peru, at a similar elevation, run to highs around 75°F in July with lows near 56°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. Nearby, the Spruce Peak hike is about 1.3 miles away, and Bromley Shelter offers camping about 1.6 miles off. The Appalachian Trail and Long Trail pass within about 2 miles, and Hapgood Pond is roughly 5 miles away for fishing.
