Maybe we need a photo feature on newenglandbouldering.com |

Barbed wire in Lincoln Woods. |

I need to get a tour up at Lynn Woods at some point. Keep hearing mixed reviews but should really check it out for myself. |

Let me know what you think. I have had some people tell me it's awesome and some people tell me it is really hard to find anything there and that it is very spread out between good problems. Thanks. |

Thanks.Both are very true... the frog boulder is great josh. It's a bit of a hike though. I have an old Lynn Woods map around from my grandfather. Maybe I'll see if I can get it up online sometime. It's pretty neat. |
