Description

A decently short approach brings you to a small boulder field right off the Boulder Trail. All excellent landing, mostly lowball yet good quality climbing. Not a destination area, but worth while for locals looking to get in a quick session.

The big quarry on the map is choss and the town conservation website states no climbing there. The other lime quarry overhangs look to be your typical real dirty not so inspiring potential. I did find some some chalk remnants, but also a bird nest so should be left alone.

It appears there is more to be discovered here, just sparce and spread out.

Getting There

Park at the Bob Horton Loop Trail, Main Street, Bolton, MA. Should be OK for night sessions because doesn't appear neighbors are close enough to be bothered.
