Access Issue: Closure information? Details

Per Diego Concha: I called the DCR today and spoke to a ranger who said they no longer allow climbing at Rattlesnake Rocks because of endangered species that live near the crag and are sending climbers to Quincy Quarries nearby.

Description

Scramble up to the slabby, v-shaped chimney. Pull the crack, and jam, and/or stem your feet. The crux is the steeper topout over a small block forming a tiny lip. This chimney collects pine needles - watch out for slippery foot placements!
