Guidebook


Hanging Mountain is an east-facing mountainside in a relatively remote region of southwest Massachusetts and northwest Connecticut. The property was privately held and climbing was prohibited, but in 2019, the 14-acre mountainside was purchased by the Western Massachusetts Climbers' Coalition (WMCC) with the assistance of the Ragged Mountain Foundation of Connecticut (RMF) and the Access Fund. A small but dedicated group of volunteers from the local climbing community have worked tirelessly to make Hanging Mountain a public venue for climbers and hikers. This guide currently covers 60 routes from 5.5 to 5.13. More routes will be added in the future and the price will go up, but those who bought a license will receive those updates for free. A donation of 5% of all proceeds goes to WMCC, and %15 of all proceeds goes to the Nolumbeka Project.
