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
Jug haul a short (and slightly overhanging), blocky section of the lower wall to a ledge. An alternate start is the lower crack formed by the right-facing corner; this offers better protection to the ledge. Then climb the crack (using some side crimpers) at the upper, left-facing corner. Stem your feet on small edges. The steepness eases considerably for the (slabby) topout, which follows a wider crack to the clifftop.
Location
Look for the blocky, overhanging lower section to the (climber's) left of the
Six Pack roof. Use the same start as
Let There Be Jugs, but climb the upper (left-facing corner) crack instead of the overhanging face.
Protection
A toprope or gear up to 1.5".
