I think it before you get to Hamilton. Blodgett is one of the great areas, amazing that more people don't climb there, some of the best granite on the planet, on par with yosemite but not as polished!
I climbed a beautiful handcrack on the left side of that in 1988 and left a medium sized hex from which I bailed. I had some non climbing friends in tow and felt that going to the summit would over involve them. It would have been pretty easy to get from the point where I bailed to the Summit however. The hand crack was probably 5.8.
