Description 

This rock is listed in both Rock ‘n Road and Boston Rocks. IMHO, this is not worth the effort of finding this chunk of rock. Toula describes it as “Unbelievable. Horizontal pile. Feeble.” It is included for completion and perhaps to save you the gas or effort. It seemed only 6-10 feet tall. Funny, there is even a separate listing at the New England bouldering website for this rock! Apparently, the rock is owned by the town.

Getting There 

It is near the Bates Elementary School 3 blocks north of Route 9. It took a while to find this boulder...it was a disappointment to find it.
