Location: MA : Milford Bouldering : Renaissance Man (V11)

Comments: On the Milford/Hopkinton line, Rt 85. There is a small parking space on the south bound side (illegal?) , near an obvious clearing. Some small rocks and a dirt bike path. The boulder is across the way but you kinda skirt around from the left and then slab over to it.
I found this thing years ago when living in Hopkinton and realized it was way to hard for me.

Comments: Somewhere. It was a long way in and we already had enough shit with us. it would be an awesome site for photos though, no signs of humanity at all. You can kinda see Greens from up high, people think that's hike ? Ha! The best thing is cool belay ledges too. Like the top of P1 Children's Crusade.

Comments: That's what I was told , Jay. Remember it was way dirty AND Henry was prolly removing the gear after every attempt. Gearing this climb, like Heather is much easier with Rocks and small cams too.

Comments: Ya paul, but you and mike prolly had EB's on which everyone knows made climbs easier !The first pitch (was that Albert ?) is a good way to learn rope reelin' technique. Another good route on the slabs with some runouts is Black Jade 10-ish

Comments: I THINK this is the route we did years ago, decent climbing with a good situation. We found a 5.9-ish steep finish with a wooden wedge in it.
Fearsome painful quartzy finger crack on the approach boulder near the swamp.
