Camden Maine Rock / Mountain Climbing - From Camden’s varied terrain to Acadia National Park’s unique sea cliffs, there are ideal locations in Maine for the first time climber as well as the experienced veteran.
With views of Penobscot Bay and Megunticook Lake, cliffs in the Camden Hills area are perfect for individuals, couples, families, and groups of all ages and abilities.
Barrett’s Cove Cliff
The ideal cliff for climbers of all abilities, Barrett’s Cove offers beginner top ropes as well as classic multi-pitch routes. Those that reach the top are rewarded with views of Penobscot bay, Megunicook lake, and the Camden Snow bowl- the east’s only ski resort with views of the ocean. As with other venues within the Camden area, Barrett’s Cove cliff provides a crowd-free, peaceful climbing experience all summer long.
The Verticals
For more experienced individuals the Verticals offers an excellent selection of intermediate to advanced steep face climbs. An ideal day would be to start at Barrett’s cove cliff and warm up on lower-angle routes then walk five minutes to the Verticals for a perfect sampler of Camden’s unique metamorphic Gneiss.
The Ramparts
Interested in learning to lead climb? The Ramparts has more moderate sport and traditional climbs along with hard steep test pieces. Only minutes from Barrett’s Cove and the Verticals by car, this seldom-visited crag nestled in the forest is a great place to get away and pull down on Camden’s impressive stone.
