Coming out of the cave.

Description 

This is fun crag with interesting problems on fun rock. This crag, while short, is quite wide. It would provide a very challenging girdle traverse for someone. At times, you can lose the sense that you are in a metropolitan area while climbing here. Technique wins over brute strength at this crag.

Apparently, to the left of Posherman Wall is The Cave, a fun 7 foot cave.

This crag is just north of the temple. Again, do not park at the temple. You can walk across the temple parking. Head north on a dirt road. This is the first crag you encounter.

The Cave V3-4  MA : Hammond Pond : Pusherman Wall

Start back in the cave on fantastic juggy underclings with decent feet on the wall. Power out of the cave using roof beta to a hard cross move on the small arete feature. Once gaining the seam, traverse left to a very tricky mantle topout for the grade. Thank goodness it isn't highball!Starting further back in the cave may add a grade. This is a super classic climb that is totally uncharacteristic for Hammond Pond and a very worthy tick for being so close to Boston. Any visit to the Temple Overh...[more]   Browse More Classics in MA
