Let \(M\) be the Mandelbrot set and let \({\mathcal I} \subset M\) be the set of infinitely renormalizable quadratics belonging to infinite nests of little Mandelbrot sets and \({\mathcal F}=M \setminus {\mathcal I}\). It is well-known that the set \({\mathcal F} \cap \partial M\) has Hausdorff dimension two. The question of the size of the set \({\mathcal I} \cap \partial M\) has been floating around for a while. In this paper, the author proves that the set \({\mathcal I} \cap \partial M\) of infinitely renormalizable complex parameter values on the boundary of \(M\) has Hausdorff dimension at least 1 and the set \({\mathcal I} \cap\mathbb{R}\) of infinitely renormalizable real parameter values has Hausdorff dimension at least 1/2.
