Elephant Man Boulder

Massachusetts > S Shore, Cape,… > Whitney Thayer… > Whitney Spur Rail Tra…

Description

Elephant Man Boulder is a 15-ish foot tall block with an obvious bulge facing trailside. Left of the nose you'll find a small boulder perched on top of yet another block (nice face), which creates a small cave in between the two. The backside of this cluster is half buried, making for no-sweat downclimbs.

There are no access issues.

Getting There

Park at Cohasset t-stop in Rail Trail spots. Cross 3A to Whitney Spur Rail Trail heading south. Walk Rail Trail approximately 8-10 miinutes. Make your first obvious left onto the Red Loop Trail. Make an immediate right onto side trail. About 50 yards in, as the trail turns right, look uphill, and you’ll see the top of the boulder above/past a fallen tree. Bushwhack uphill 50 yards up to the boulder.
