Mark's Wall

Massachusetts > Central, MA > Douglas State F… > Far North

Description

Mark's Wall has a mixture of short roped climbs up to 30 feet and boulder problems. This is a great area to try after the "Toprope Walls", and it contains a few excellent routes/problems of its own. Be sure to get on Convalescence, 5.7; Barbarian, V2; and Hash Slinging Slasher, V1.

Getting There

This is the closest area to the main parking area and can be reached via the "Mid State Trail North" as for the Toprope Walls. Take the single track trail off the west side of the parking area. Follow the trail uphill for 1-2 minutes before making a left on another single track named "PPE". Follow PPE for another 1-2 minutes before converging with "Double Bit". Follow Double Bit for about a hundred meters. As the trail begins going gradually uphill, look to the right. With light tree cover, you can see a cliff band to the right. Cut right off the trail, and within a minute, you will reach the main wall which points east. A small rock band to its left faces south and has a few easier boulder problems. Continuing beyond the main face brings you to an unestablished cliff band and just beyond that an aesthetic wall home to a couple established boulder problems.
