Base of D Wall (showing the drill holes).

Description 

This is a small wall just to the right of C Face. In fact, it is really a continuation of that face. Fingers, the right-most route of C Face, is on the left margin of this face. It continues with E Face on its left. There was a fair bit of loose rock on this face. There are apparently bolt anchors at the top of the wall. The drill holes on this face make for some unusual climbing. The descent is on the right.

L->R:

A. Fingers, 7
B. Meat Cleaver, 4
CB. Upshot, 6
D1. Drill Holes, 6 PG-13, TR.
D2. Eliminates of big holds/ledge
D3. Eliminate with only right holes
D. Extensor, 8
ED. Condenser, 6
E. Condenser Direct, 6


Getting There 

This area is just right/clockwise of C Face on Little Railroad Quarry. This sits sort of 11:30 on the clock face.

Drill Holes 5.6 PG13  MA : Quincy Quarries : D Wall (aka D & E Faces)
This climb links the lower three drill holes with the upper two. Well named. One variation of Drills Holes eliminates the large "K-te;" ledge 12 feet up, as well as the "Ronco" and "Acme" holds. Another variation uses the right two lower drill holes as the start. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in MA
