[Hide Comment] If you go bouldering in Townsend, don't miss Palmer Bartell SF just over the border in Brookline, NH, not technically in Townsend, but it belongs in the same cluster. Dec 26, 2020

[Hide Comment] Yeah, all the Townsend stuff can kinda be lumped in with PB as well as Lake Potanipo/Rock Raymond along Rte. 13 between MA and NH. Dec 26, 2020
