This is a really fun line up the middle of this crag.  It goes up just left of a few crack-like features.  It gains the horizontal crack halfway up.  Then, you get a funky, skin-chewing jam, yard for decent holds above.

Lock Jaw

The Treatment

A hold broke on this climb. It is no longer "5.11". It also does not require a rope, only a pad or two. The stand grade is approximate.

 Climb the thin crack in the center of the face. It is the tallest line on the face.

 A sit start would go a grade higher.

This small, 15 foot, West-facing, puddingstone cliff is located West of Boston along Hwy 9/Bolyston St. on the south side of the road. While it is not much for to look at, it can provide a good bouldering or TR session. It can be wonderful on a crisp spring or fall day. It is mostly overhanging. As you can tell from the names, it is probably best not to fall off these routes if bouldering.

 The rock is similar to some of Hammond Ponds puddingstone conglomerate.
