Description

There is a patch of wilderness off of Marcella Street in Roxbury which contains a few climbable boulders. It is not technically a park, but most of the land is owned by the city, so access should be ok for now. If you go back far enough, however, you cross over the property lines of the houses above, so beware that one or two boulders might be on private property.

There is a wide, 15 foot, slabby boulder on the left side of the area which probably contains most of the routes. There are also three 7-10 foot boulders which should all have a couple climbs, mostly sit starts. Everything needs cleaning and some logs + dead trees need to be moved to access certain areas.
