From the pictures/post Max posted, it seems like the blue blaze trail is the way to go

tks: Walk on the blue blaze trail. From the parking lot, you'll hit the obvious boulder in the middle of the trail in a few min. It's a fun warm up boulder. There are three different areas I scouted from this boulder. This is also the only true boulder, the rest are ledge outcroppings, so don't look for other boulders. 1st, head uphill from the boulder. There are a few possible lines, two of which look fun, but V-much-harder-than-I-can-climb. 2nd, walk back toward the parking lot 30-ish ft, then head toward the road. There's a fun overhang that you won't find until you're on top of it, visible from the road. 3rd, for the highball section, continue on blue blaze trail. 5-ish min after the boulder, you'll see the first wooden staircase. Stop about 10 ft. before it and look directly right. You see a ledge in profile (couple hundred feet off the trail). Lots of possible lines on it, I started scrubbing it, then life happened. Hoping to get back. There's a couple bolts on top, I'm assuming for boy-scout type TR. Unfortunately, I'm now up in Maine, not sure when I'll be back down in Boston. Let me know what you find

Would love to know if these boulders were cleaned up and sent. Were they logged here on MP?
