Hermit's Castle, Erving MA

Looking for info on climbing at Hermit's Castle - just east of Farley. looks like at least some of it has been climbed in the past - some bolts, does anyone know who did the development?

Ward Smith, Steve Johnson and friends have done a lot there---mostly bouldering, but likely some routes as well. I assume that Ward will respond to your question also, though he is about to leave for trip to  AZ so might be off-line for a while.

Mostly mixed stuff around the cave itself. Anchors were hidden to keep them from hiker’s view.  I’m in the airport right now but can DM you more info when I get back in a couple of weeks.  Nothing great, but south facing and sunny when the leaves are off.

Thanks! Maybe ill check it out

Zach—I would be stoked to check out some of the gear routes here if you’re interested!
