Abstract: Suppose $ M=\mathbb{B}/G$ is a hyperbolic manifold. Consider the set of escaping geodesic rays $ \gamma (t)$ originating at a fixed point $ p$ of the manifold $ M$, i.e.  $ \operatorname{dist}(\gamma(t),p)\to \infty$. We investigate those escaping geodesics which escape at the fastest possible rate, and find the Hausdorff dimension of the corresponding terminal points on the boundary of $ \mathbb{B}$.

In dimension $ 2$, for a geometrically infinite Fuchsian group, if the injectivity radius of $ M=\mathbb{B}/G$ is bounded above and away from zero, then these points have full dimension. In dimension $ 3$, when $ G$ is a geometrically infinite and topologically tame Kleinian group, if the injectivity radius of $ M=\mathbb{B}/G$ is bounded away from zero, the dimension of these points is $ 2$, which is again maximal.
