Joe's Rock

The overhung section of the cliff.

Description 

A small cliff (about 60 feet high) off of route 121 in Wrentham MA, at the Joe's Rock Conservation area.

The rock is rather crumbly (I've had a couple large holds break off in my hand) and the ground is covered with broken glass and other debris.

Is only open dawn till dusk, and is monitored by police (most of whom are courteous to climbers) because of past incidents with partiers

There used to be quite a few bolted routes here, but most of them were chopped, there are still 2 bolted lines, one at the right end and one more towards the middle of the cliff. you can set up toprope anchors above just about anywhere on the cliff though sometimes pretty far back (as much as 40 feet), and routes can be as hard as 5.12.

I've also done some bouldering on the shorter parts of the cliff.

Getting There 

From I-495, take route 1A towards Wrentham Center turn left on to 121, Joe's Rock Conservation Area is a couple miles up on the right. If you enter Cumberland RI, you went too far.

Once you park, then walk down the trail towards the pond turn right. Then when the trail splits, go left as this will bring you to the base of the cliff, about 500 feet from the parking lot.
